An Estimate of the Effect of Common Currencies on Trade and Income

Professor Taylor and Professor Manzur offer in this volume a selection of published articles by leading scholars which are representative of recent key developments in this area of study. With an initial look at earlier papers which lay the groundwork for more recent research, the collection investigates three broad areas, namely, monetary policy and exchange rates, monetary unification, and exchange rates and commodity prices. With an authoritative introduction by these two leading specialists in the field, the collection is an essential reference source for students, researchers and lecturers in international finance and for policymakers.
