Abstract
⺠We examine return co-movements and volatility spillovers between major exchange rates in the pre- and post-euro period. ⺠Co-movements and spillovers are, on average, lower in the post-euro period. ⺠Co-movements and spillovers are positively associated with extreme economic episodes and US dollar appreciations. ⺠The euro (Deutsche mark) is the dominant net transmitter of volatility, while the British pound the dominant net receiver of volatility. ⺠Cross-market volatility spillovers are bidirectional.
