Popis: The difficulties of a common monetary policy in an economic and monetary union are well known where there are differences between the stage of the business cycles and inflation pressures. In this paper, I will show that in a simple open macro model and by using ‘weighted mean mechanism’ monetary authorities can employ a common monetary policy to synchronise diverging business cycles in the member states.
