Abstract: Although relatively closed in comparison with the individual constituent countries, the euro area economy is subject to a broad range of economic impacts originating from outside its borders, by an extent which remains significant. At the ECB we are well aware of the international linkages of the euro area and in 2004, we hosted a workshop on ‘The Importance of the External Dimension for the Euro Area: Trade, Capital Flows and International Macroeconomic Linkages’. Drawing partly from that workshop and using the most recent research, the book edited by di Mauro and Anderton aims at providing an overall understanding of how and to what extent external developments affect the euro area. Using a broad range of methodologies and techniques, the chapters bring together the latest information and results regarding the various channels connecting the euro area to its external environment, most notably the trade, capital flows and other international macroeconomic linkages.
