INTRODUCTION""; ""II. GLOBAL ECONOMIC MODEL""; ""III. SIMULATION RESULTS""; ""IV. CONCLUSIONS""; ""REFERENCES"" 330 3 $aUsing the IMF's Global Economic Model, calibrated to the European Union, the effects of reform in product and labor markets are quantified for both a large and a small euro area economy. When markups in these markets are reduced, there are sizable long-term gains in output and employment. Most of these gains accrue to the reforming country regardless of whether reform takes place elsewhere; conversely, spillovers of reform elsewhere are limited. Labor and services market reforms have transitional costs as they induce a temporary decline in consumption, but raising competition in goods markets can mitigate some of these costs. Thus, coordinating the timing of reforms across markets is beneficial, and the more so the more open the reforming economy. In addition, synchronizing structural reforms across large countries of the euro area could eliminate transition costs. Increased supply would allow monetary policy to ease without jeopardizing price stability objectives, though in practice uncertainty may prevent full accommodation. 410 0$aIMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;$vNo. 2006/137 606 $aEconometric models$zEuropean Economic Community countries 606 $aFiscal policy$zEuropean Economic Community countries 606 $aCommodity exchanges$2imf 606 $aCommodity markets$2imf 606 $aConsumption$2imf 606 $aDemand and Supply of Labor: General$2imf 606 $aEconomics$2imf 606 $aFinance$2imf 606 $aFinance: General$2imf 606 $aGeneral Financial Markets: General (includes Measurement and Data)$2imf 606 $aIncome economics$2imf 606 $aLabor Economics Policies$2imf 606 $aLabor economics$2imf 606 $aLabor Economics: General$2imf 606 $aLabor market reforms$2imf 606 $aLabor market$2imf 606 $aLabor markets$2imf 606 $aLabor$2imf 606 $aLabour$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics: Consumption$2imf 606 $aManpower policy$2imf 606 $aSaving$2imf 606 $aWealth$2imf 607 $aFrance$2imf 615 0$aEconometric models 615 0$aFiscal policy 615 7$aCommodity exchanges 615 7$aCommodity markets 615 7$aConsumption 615 7$aDemand and Supply of Labor: General 615 7$aEconomics 615 7$aFinance 615 7$aFinance: General 615 7$aGeneral Financial Markets: General (includes Measurement and Data) 615 7$aIncome economics 615 7$aLabor Economics Policies 615 7$aLabor economics 615 7$aLabor Economics: General 615 7$aLabor market reforms 615 7$aLabor market 615 7$aLabor markets 615 7$aLabor 615 7$aLabour 615 7$aMacroeconomics 615 7$aMacroeconomics: Consumption 615 7$aManpower policy 615 7$aSaving 615 7$aWealth 700 $aEveraert$b Luc$01675624 701 $aSchule$b Werner$01673848 712 02$aInternational Monetary Fund.$bEuropean Dept. 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826094303321 996 $aStructural Reforms in the Euro Area$94041260 997 $aUNINA
