This paper finds that divergences across euro-area countries are smaller and have not risen relative to those across 13 other advanced economies with more flexible exchange rates. Also, the size of country-specific current account shocks in EMU countries is smaller and their persistence is greater than in the other advanced economies. However, these differences in current account dynamics do not appear related to different exchange 410 0$aIMF Working Papers 608 $aElectronic books. 700 $aDecressin$b Jo?rg$0860299 701 $aStavrev$b Emil$0857610 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464579703321 996 $aCurrent Accounts in a Currency Union$92037533 997 $aUNINA
