Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Eric Helleiner provides a detailed exploration of the politics underlying Canada's recent debate over the merits of monetary union with the United States. Comparing the US Federal Reserve and the European Monetary Union, he argues that Canada would exercise far less influence within a North American monetary union than individual countries do within the European community. He also analyses the seemingly paradoxical support of Quebec sovereignists for free trade and monetary union." --Résumé de l'éditeur.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this commentary is to examine the following propositions: that a floating exchange rate is not serving Canada well within the progressively integrated North American Free Trade Agreement environment; that there are arguments for greater fixity in exchange rates; and that the longer-term objective of greater exchange rate fixity should be a common North American currency. The commentary also looks at some of the alternative approaches along the continuum from floating rates to monetary union, including pegged rates, fixed rates, currency boards, and dollarization.

Book Synopsis Monetary and Exchange Rate Arrangements for Nafta by : Mr.Tamim Bayoumi
Download or read book Monetary and Exchange Rate Arrangements for Nafta written by Mr.Tamim Bayoumi and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1993-03-01 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper considers the extent to which the North American Free Trade Area (NAFTA) meets the criteria for a common currency area. NAFTA is compared with the EC, a regional grouping for which initial plans for a monetary union are already in place. Most of the anticipated benefits from a monetary union in the EC apply with equal force to NAFTA. However, because the underlying disturbances are more diverse across members of NAFTA, the costs of abandoning the exchange rate instrument are likely to be higher. This is particularly true when NAFTA is compared to the EC’s continental core.
Book Synopsis Monetary Integration and Dollarization by : Matias Vernengo
Download or read book Monetary Integration and Dollarization written by Matias Vernengo and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together an impressive and diverse group of authors to discuss its central theme: whether or not the dollarized international monetary system is sustainable in the context of the global economy it helped create. In addition to its uniquely well-rounded and comprehensive coverage of the issues, this lively and highly readable volume provides an accurate assessment of the lack of consensus in the current debate. A must read for anyone interested in currency crises and the increasing vulnerability of the dollar. Jane D Arista, Director of Progams, Financial Markets Center, US This book deals with the economic consequences of monetary integration, which has long been dominated by the Optimal Currency Area (OCA) paradigm. In this model, money is perceived as having developed from a private sector cost minimization process to facilitate transactions. Not surprisingly, the book argues, the main advantage of monetary integration in the OCA context is the reduction of transaction costs, yet the validity of OCA to analyze processes of monetary integration seems to be limited at best. The contributors in this volume try to go beyond the OCA model and understand the political economy of monetary integration by comparing the European Monetary Union with the dollarization (formal and informal) process in Latin America. The contributors, many of whom are leading lights, reflect the disagreements and the changing views on the proper monetary arrangements in a globalized world and suggest that monetary integration and dollarization are not the solution for the great majority of countries around the world. Monetary Integration and Dollarization brings together mainstream and heterodox views of monetary integration and uses the European and North American experiences as a guide for the discussion of dollarization in developing countries. It will appeal to scholars, researchers and policy makers in the fields of financial and international economics.

Download or read book No Small Change written by William Bertie Provost Robson and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This commentary first describes the current monetary order in Canada (a central bank, floating exchange rate, domestic inflation target, & institutional accountability). It then examines various options proposed by critics of this order, such as a pegged US/Canadian dollar exchange rate, a currency union, and unilateral adoption of the US dollar. The advantages & drawbacks of each are compared to the current order. Areas where US co-operation affects the attractiveness of an option are identified and the likelihood of such co-operation is evaluated.
Book Synopsis Dollarization by : Louis-Phillipe Rochon
Download or read book Dollarization written by Louis-Phillipe Rochon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-05-22 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of the US dollar for domestic monetary transactions outside the USA has gone on for many years now - Panama in 1904 being the earliest example. Since the advent of the Euro, the debate over the benefits of monetary integration has warmed up - particularly for NAFTA countries. This collection, with contributions from experts such as Philip Arestis, Malcolm Sawyer and Stephanie Bell, examines the various problems and benefits involved in monetary integration and covers the causes of Euro instability, monetary policy in non-optimal currency unions, financial openness and dollarization and the question of dollarization in Canada. This book addresses one of the burning policy issues in Europe and America: is monetary union worthwhile? The readable yet comprehensive style of this book will make it of interest not only to academics and students involved in European integration, financial liberalization and dollarization, but will also be an important book for policy-makers at intergovernmental level.

Book Synopsis An Economic Analysis of Monetary Union by : Michael Carlberg
Download or read book An Economic Analysis of Monetary Union written by Michael Carlberg and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the new economics of monetary union. It carefully discusses the effects of shocks and policies on output and prices. Shocks and policies are country-specific or common. They occur on the demand or supply side. Countries can differ in behavioural functions. Wages can be fixed, flexible, or slow. In addition, fixed wages and flexible wages can coexist. Take for instance fixed wages in Germany and flexible wages in France. Or take fixed wages in Europe and flexible wages in America. A special feature of this book is the numerical estimation of shock and policy multipliers. Further topics are inflation and disinflation. Take for instance inflation in Germany and price stability in France. Then what policy is needed for disinflation in the union? And what will be the dynamic effects on Germany and France?
Book Synopsis Regional Monetary Integration by : Peter B. Kenen
Download or read book Regional Monetary Integration written by Peter B. Kenen and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book surveys the prospects for regional monetary integration in various parts of the world. Beginning with a brief review of the theory of optimal currency areas, it goes on to examine the structure and functioning of the European Monetary Union, then turns to the prospects for monetary integration elsewhere in the world - North America, South America, and East Asia. Such cooperation may take the form of full-fledged monetary unions or looser forms of monetary cooperation. The book emphasizes the economic and institutional requirements for successful monetary integration, including the need for a single central bank in the case of a full-fledged monetary union, and the corresponding need for multinational institutions to safeguard its independence and assure its accountability. The book concludes with a chapter on the implications of monetary integration for the United States and the US dollar.

Book Synopsis Regional Aspects of Monetary Policy in Europe by : Jürgen von Hagen
Download or read book Regional Aspects of Monetary Policy in Europe written by Jürgen von Hagen and published by ZEI Studies in European Economics and Law. This book was released on 2000 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 11 papers from a July 1998 international conference in Bonn, scholars from across Europe and the US offer empirical and theoretical studies of the regional effects of monetary policy in heterogeneous monetary unions, and analyze the political economy of monetary policy in a monetary union of heterogeneous regions or member states. In addition to Europe, they consider monetary policy of the North American monetary unions, providing empirical evidence on the importance of regional differences in the US and Canada. The topics include the asymmetric impacts of a common monetary policy in Europe, industry effects of monetary policy in Germany, the composition of bank councils for heterogeneous monetary unions, the evolving role of the federal reserve banks in federal reserve system policy, and achieving consistency in policy while encouraging open debate.

Book Synopsis The Economics of Monetary Integration by : Paul de Grauwe
Download or read book The Economics of Monetary Integration written by Paul de Grauwe and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1992 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This expositive textbook on monetary integration looks at the costs and benefits of monetary union in Europe. The author examines such topical issues as whether there is a good economic case for countries to have separate currencies, and whether a nation increases its welfare when it abolishes its national currency and adopts the currency of a wider area. This leads naturally to questions concerning the size of an optimal monetary area - should this include the EC, the whole of Europe, or the whole world?" "The first part of the book focuses on complete monetary unions in which a common currency is substituted for national currencies. The second part looks at incomplete monetary unions and analyzes the operation of monetary systems in which national monetary authorities maintain their national currencies but agree to fix their exchange rates. This leads to an analysis of the European Monetary System and also examines the issues relating to the transition to a full monetary system." "The book combines comprehensive exposition with discussion of recent historical events and theory and will prove invaluable to students."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Book Synopsis Monetary Unions and Hard Pegs:Effects on Trade, Financial Development, and Stability by : Volbert Alexander
Download or read book Monetary Unions and Hard Pegs:Effects on Trade, Financial Development, and Stability written by Volbert Alexander and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2004-03-25 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Financial services with global reach are becoming ever more important in the conduct and organization of the trade and investment of nations, and currencies that lack international standing lose out in this business. The result of financial development has been destabilizing currency and portfolio substitution -- in favour of international currencies and against local ones.This book analyses formal approaches to overcoming monetary divisions within countries and within integrating regions, focusing on the consequences of monetary union for trade among union members and their financial development and stability. The authors discuss hard pegs such as those attempted by the currency board of Argentina, outright dollarization, such as in Ecuador, and multilateral monetary union, as in Europe, the least reversible form of monetary union and the most powerful elixir offinancial integration and trade.The political classes and central banks in most countries have been reluctant to admit the market- and technology-driven forces of currency consolidation, much less yield to them. International financial institutions too are still in the habit of proffering advice about national monetary and exchange-rate policies on the assumption that getting rid of both is not even an option. Emerging-market countries, in particular, have to choose between retaining what independent monetary means they stillhave -- and can safely use in the presence of widespread liability dollarization and currency mismatches -- and formally replacing the domestic with an international currency to reduce exposure to debilitating financial crises. In concrete investigations of this choice, this volume shows thatmonetary union deserves a much more sympathetic hearing.
