Guidelines
The implementation of benefits resulting from euro adoption depends on the ability of the new member country operate without the independent monetary policy. That`s why it is important the coordination of the business cycles vis- ?-via the paradigm of OCA
According to Frankel and Rose (1998), it is exactly the increased trade integration (caused by common currency) which should increase the correlation of the business cycles.
I would like to verify, whether the common currency really increases the trade integration (increases export) and in case of Czech Republic quantify the potential benefits followed by higher amount exports after euro adoption. I will also consider the inflow of foreign direct investments in case of euro adoption.

The data will be collected from Eurostat, European Commission, the World Bank, IMF, Geobytes, Heritage Foundation and WTO.

Preliminary scope of work
1. Verify whether the European Monetary Union fulfills the Optimum currency area criterion ? correlation of the business cycles of the particular members.
2. Verify significant positive impacts of the euro on trade flows between the EMU member states ? i.e. the impact of euro on trade creation, which enhances the GDP.
3. Verify if euro enhances the trade after entering the EMU by means of gravity modelling.
