These sources collectively examine the multifaceted debate surrounding Sweden’s decision not to adopt the euro, exploring the economic and political implications.
Several papers utilize synthetic control methods to create counterfactual scenarios, estimating how Sweden’s economy, including GDP, trade flows, and unemployment rates, might have developed had it joined the eurozone in 1999 or 2003.
A key theme across the texts is the perceived vs. actual monetary policy independence of Sweden, with some arguments suggesting that the Swedish krona’s interest rates are already significantly influenced by the European Central Bank.
The discussion also highlights the convergence criteria required for EU members to adopt the euro, as well as the public sentiment and political factors that led to Sweden’s “no” vote in the 2003 referendum. The texts further touch on the advantages and disadvantages of a common currency for both individual nations and the larger economic union.
