The commitment to join the eurozone in 2009-2010 was rejected by Czech Republic in 2006 at a time when signs of the eurozone crisis were not yet apparent. Nor did the prospects of failure to fulfil any of the Maastricht Convergence Criteria have any realistic basis. Real or alleged difficulties in meeting the Maastricht Convergence Criteria and attaining economic alignment with the eurozone did not serve as a mobilization factor for economic policies. Instead, these issues were perceived to offer an objective reason against euro adoption within the declared timeframe. The official stance against the euro was partly based on serious analytical and short-term forecasting errors, if not on deliberate manipulations, including an overemphasised misalignment of the Czech economy with the eurozone.

The paper describes a wide range of approaches to what is known as a perception gap among consumers in the European Union after most member countries switched to the single European currency in 2002. The author focuses on issues linked with the consumer theory, analyzing why consumers are unable to properly estimate the value of inflation-in terms of its compatibility withtheHarmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP), an inflation and price stability indicator used by the European Central Bank. The first part of the paper outlines research theories related to the perception gap. These include the theories of limited rationality and rational passivity, in addition to behavioral economics and neuroeconomics. The second part of the paper discusses factors behind the perception of inflation, taking into account theoretical discussions conducted as part of various scientific disciplines. This approach is designed to show the state of debate on the perception of inflation and stress the growing role of heterodox approaches in contemporary economics, Mucha says.

Most previous analyses of Poland’s planned accession to the euro zone focused on the macroeconomic aspects of the move, while overlooking its microeconomic significance. The authors of this paper are concerned with the impact of euro adoption on the competitiveness and internationalization of enterprises. The basic question that they attempt to answer is how euro-zone entry will change the conditions in which Polish businesses operate, and how it will change the range of instruments companies use in the process of building a competitive advantage and in shaping their competitive strategies. Gorynia, Jankowska, Pietrzykowski and Tarka conducted empirical research among 50 enterprises in the western Polish region of Wielkopolska. They divided the companies into four groups by employment. Most of the companies supported Polish euro-zone entry, but the level of acceptance depended on the strategic potential of an enterprise. According to respondents, lower currency risk would be the most important benefit of the move, while the main threat is that soaring prices could harm domestic demand. The results of the research contribute to a nationwide debate on the implications of Polish entry into the common currency area. According to the paper’s authors, research in this area should be continued to cover not just individual regions but the whole country.
