    Extractions: The Euroland, after the introduction of the euro and the European Central Bank, also achieved price stability and convergence of interest rates and inflation rates, although initially a divergence of inflation rates among member countries lingered . It was also expected that a massive increase in intra-regional trade and investment would raise efficiency (total factor productivity), giving rise to a dynamic bonus effect on the potential growth rate . Although we have not yet seen a visible rise in the potential growth rate of the euro area, we may expect the realization of higher growth over coming years. On the external front, the trade and investment linkage between Europe and Asia has been strengthened significantly. There is an increasing tendency for Asian multinational companies to raise funds in euro-denominated debt, while currency diversification among private asset-holders is proceeding, albeit gradually. Yet some Asian countries presume that the stability of their exchange rates against the dollar is essential for an export-oriented development strategy . In addition, the development of domestic capital markets is delayed, reflecting a still largely bank-based financial system in many Asian countries. As a result, dollar-denominated assets dominate asset holdings among Asian investors. Thus, the use of the euro as a key currency in Asia has so far been limited. Furthermore, the move and institutional arrangements toward economic integration and a common currency area are far behind the case of the Euroland.

    Extractions: Research Publications Economists Research Centers Conferences ... Economic Data In recent years, there has been growing interest in the causes of speculative pressures on currencies, stimulated by the attack on the exchange rate mechanism of the European Monetary System in September 1992 and more recently by the devaluation and float of the Mexican peso in December 1994. In a number of Asian economies, interest in speculative pressures has recently been heightened by concern about the possible reversal of the vast foreign capital inflows they have experienced in the last decade (see Glick and Moreno 1995). International economists offer at least two general explanations for why an exchange rate may be subject to speculative pressures. First, macroeconomic policies (such as loose monetary and fiscal policies), may be inconsistent with a government's exchange rate target; this explanation is suggested by a line of research originated by Krugman (1979) . Second, even when macroeconomic policies are consistent with an exchange rate peg, the beliefs of speculators or adverse economic conditions may affect the willingness of a government to defend a peg, so that expectations of a currency realignment take on the characteristics of self-fulfilling prophecies; this explanation is offered by Obstfeld (1994) among others.

    Extractions: NewsWithViews.com This question was the topic of a high-level meeting called to order by Nobel Prize economist Robert Mundell in late June. These intimate gatherings of the world's leading financial and economic thinkers was the 10th such meeting with the first held in 1971, three weeks after President Nixon took the dollar off of the gold standard. Those debating the need for a world currency reason that if the euro can replace the franc, mark and lira, then why can't a new world currency merge the dollar, euro and yen. They include former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker, former Argentine Finance Minister Domingo Cavallo, currency-board guru Steve Hanke from Johns Hopkins University, and former Israeli Central Bank head, Dr. Jacob Frenkel. Interestingly enough the same Paul Volcker who wants a global currency was part of Nixon's cabinet serving as Undersecretary of the Treasury for Monetary Affairs during this historic time. He also is the same Paul Volcker who recently has been instrumental in converting America's accounting system to a global accounting system and he is the same Paul Volcker who has been working with our government to change its system of personnel management. Nixon took his entire Cabinet to Camp David where they determined the course of world economic history. On August 15, 1971, Nixon announced that had directed Treasury Secretary John Connally to "suspend temporarily the convertibility of the dollar into gold or other reserve assets."

Most countries today have a central bank which is a private corporation that handles its monetary system. Bi-monthly, central bank ministers from 40 countries meet at the BIS to review ways “to promote the co-operation of central banks and to provide additional facilities for international financial operations.” Once a year the world’s central bankers meet in Basel to take a closer look at the status of the world’s central banking system. Besides the annual review, this year’s Report considered the need for “new mechanisms” to keep the financial system more in balance. The BIS report highlighted the uneven global expansion that they see. While world output expanded by 5% in 2004, the highest rate in nearly thirty years, they said its growth showed a new uneven economic expansion. Although the United States is an engine of growth, they noted the key Asian economies as being at the second pole of global dynamism, while slower growth can be seen in other larger advanced economies. The U.S. and China accounted for nearly 50% of the world’s increase in global output with the global economy growing at 4% in 2005, in spite of oil prices which are projected to remain high for a prolonged period of time.

Schenk, Department of Economic and Social History, University of Glasgow. There is some effort to make up for conceptual shortcuts by providing 'Boxes' focused on key definitions and theories, which may help the usefulness and accessibility of the book for advanced undergraduates and postgraduates. There are also helpful summaries of each section of the book, although no concluding chapter to pull the ideas finally together. Readers should also be warned that they will find almost no discussion of the experience of floating exchange rates. Part I of the book provides a critique of both neo-classical and Keynesian theories of money, and emphasizes the social and political role of money in low-trust societies such as Europe. Part II introduces the development of monetary policy through the establishment of the Bank of England and surveys the Currency and Banking School controversy. Spahn here introduces the importance of reputation and credible redemption that will be major themes of his analysis of exchange rate standards. Spahn views the return to gold convertibility in 1821 as an unnecessary and serious mistake that destabilized the English monetary system. Likewise, he argues later that the continued use of gold as an anchor in the gold standard and the Bretton Woods system contributed to their weakness.

Olivei Save a personal copy of this article and quickly find it again with Furl.net. It's free! Save it. When the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston chose "Rethinking the International Monetary System" as the topic for its 43rd Economic Conference, it was clear that the worst international financial crisis in decades had caused tremors within the economics profession and the policymaking establishment. The miracle countries of Asia had suffered sharp currency devaluation and deep economic downturns, the turmoil had spilled over into Russia and Latin America, and a severe liquidity crisis had briefly threatened banking systems in the advanced countries. Thus, economists and policymakers had begun to question some of their most basic beliefs about appropriate international financial arrangements. Of course, as Paul Volcker was to note at the conference, the worst international financial crisis in 50 years occurs about once a decade, but that recurrence conveys a telling message about the efficacy of existing arrangements.

    Extractions: New International Monetary Scheme Ever since the Western world abandoned the gold coin standard in 1914, the international monetary system has been rocketing from one bad system to another, from the frying pan to the fire and back again, fleeing the problems of one alternative only to find itself deeply unhappy in the other. Basically, [p. 258] only two alternative systems have been considered: (1) fiat money standards, each national fiat currency being governed by its own central bank, with relative values fluctuating in accordance with supply and demand; and, (2) some sort of fixed exchange rate system, governed by international coordination of economic policies. Our current System 1 came about willy-nilly in 1973, out of the collapse of Bretton Woods System 2 that had been imposed on the world by the United States and Britain in 1944. System 1, the monetarist or Friedmanite ideal, at best breaks up the world monetary system into national fiat enclaves, adds great uncertainties and distortions to the monetary system, and removes the check of external discipline from the inflationary propensities of every central bank. At worst, System 1 offers irresistible temptations to every government to intervene heavily in exchange rates, precipitating the world into currency blocs, protectionist blocs, and "begger-my-neighbor" policies of competing currency devaluations such as the economic warfare of the 1930s that helped generate World War II.

Consequently, the monetary policy implications of electronic money are nil. Hopefully, though, debating the implications of electronic money will spark an overdue recasting of monetary theory that will reflect present-day monetary realities rather than increasingly detrimental fictions. The new monetary theory should trigger the abandonment of interventionist monetary policy as we now know it because that theory will provide the basis for relying entirely on market forces to produce non-inflationary economic growth and financial stability.

Canada would have little to gain from having the US conduct our monetary policy. Advocates of a common currency exaggerate the transactions costs associated with the current regime. Nor can the floating dollar be blamed for the fact that Canada has lower productivity than the US. The current monetary system is serving Canada well. It has provided Canada with stable and low inflation rates. It has allowed for smoother adjustments to a number of real shocks. if there were to be a common currency in North America, there are only two possibilities: either Canada and the United States (and possibly Mexico) create a new North American Currency (like the Europeans created the Euro) or Canada (and Mexico) adopt the US dollar as its national currency. I believe that the only option that has any chance of being adopted is the second option. It is very costly to set up a new currency. All prices and bookkeeping records have to be converted to the new currency. The US dollar is a strong international currency with a well established "brand name." International investors have faith in the US dollar. The US government will never give up the US dollar for some new North American currency. If there is to be a common North American currency, then the only realistic option is for Canada to adopt the US currency. This paper considers the monetary arrangement where Canada adopts the US dollar.
