Description:
This empirical study of manufacturing firms (NAICS 33) in the EU15 countries shows that the introduction of the Euro has made Euro firms (firms based in one of the twelve Euro countries) more inclined than non-Euro firms (firms based in one of the three non-Euro countries: UK, Sweden and Denmark) to undertake various forms of real actions (exercise real options) such as to establish alliances/partnerships, to enter new markets/market segments, to switch suppliers, and to generally expand in the Euro-area. The results are important in understanding the potential long-term effects of Euro membership
