Abstract
We study financial linkages and risk sharing in the context of the Eurozone crisis. We consider four types of currency unions: a currency union with (potentially) segmented markets; a banking union; a capital market union; and a currency union with complete financial markets. We then analyze how these economies respond to deleveraging shocks and to technology shocks. We find that a banking union is enough to deal with public and private deleveraging shocks, but a capital market union is necessary to approximate the complete market allocation when there are shocks that affect productivity or the terms of trade
