Abstract
⺠We propose a metric to measure and test for business cycles synchronization. ⺠France and Germany are the most synchronized countries with the rest of Europe. ⺠Portugal, Greece, Ireland and Finland are not synchronized with the rest of Europe. ⺠The French leads the German business cycle as well as the rest of Europe. ⺠The Czech Republic seems a promising candidate to join the Euro in the future.
