摘要：The aim of the paper is to analyse business cycle synchronisation patterns thatthe countries of the CESEE region have in relation to the original 12 Euro areamember states. We focus on the turbulent times entailed in the latest economiccrisis in order to examine whether the synchronisation patterns for the group ofcountries that have already established closer links to the EU differ from thosein the countries pursuing the same path. Our analysis rests on the three wellestablishedchannelsof business cycle synchronisation: trade, financial integrationand sectoral specialisation.Given that the latest economic crisis was causedand transmitted by financial markets, we focus more on financial integrationindicators.The results suggest that the synchronisation patterns differ betweenthe two groups of countriesand that the financial integration channel is importantfor the CEE countries, while synchronisation for the SEE countries is supportedby the trade channel.
