The Euro, Capital Markets, and Dollarization / Edition 1

by Edward B. Flowers, Francis A. Lees

Overview

The Euro, Capital Markets, and Dollarization describes the economic and capital market results of the institution of the single currency, the euro, in Europe after January 2000. This startling event appears to foreshadow increased capital market efficiency, increased labor migration, massive cross-border mergers, the eastward spread of the monetary union, and the division of the world into currency blocs.
