This dissertation is based on the perspective of the new theory of optimum currency areas (OCA) and the coherence of business cycles is considered as a prerequisite for creating monetary union. The OCA theory is applied both to the EU countries and US states and census regions. Measuring the coherence of business cycles was performed using a composite indicator, which consists of business cycles synchronicity and similarity indices. Cluster analysis was performed to identify groups of countries with similar characteristics of business cycles.
