A 12-chapter eBook that presents the main findings and proposals of the three-year H2020-funded ADEMU project has been published in conjunction with VoxEU, from the Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR).

‘The EMU after the Euro Crisis: Lessons and Possibilities – Findings and proposals from the Horizon 2020 ADEMU project’  includes an introduction from ADEMU Scientific Coordinator Ramon Marimon and Chair of the Advisory Committee Thomas Cooley, and is aimed at economists and policy makers across the European Union.

The eBook is clearly structured to present the main findings from three-year Horizon 2020-funded project, including the background to the project, the research that has taken place and the lessons we can extract from previous policy responses.
