Monetary Policy Constraints in a Common Currency Area
Imagine a country that, for many years, managed its economy by having its national central bank raise or lower interest rates. This country then decides to abolish its own currency and join a large, pre-existing common currency area with many other member nations. A year after joining, this country's economy enters a recession. Explain why the country's government can no longer instruct its former national central bank to lower interest rates to stimulate economic activity.
