Answer to Question 1

There is less agreement on the question. This is because neither of the two Mundell conditions appears to be satisfied. European countries have experienced very different shocks in the past. Workers move much less within European countries than they do within the United States. Because of language and cultural differences among European countries, mobility between countries is even lower.
