Publisher's Synopsis
Edited by Thomas Courchene, this collection brings together distinguished scholars who reflect upon and extend Mundell's contributions - from the development of the Euro and the currency union issue in general - to factor mobility and free trade. The authors also discuss the "Mundell-Fleming" model and its policy implications as well as the evolution of global financial and trading systems.

Contributors include Russell Boyer (Western), Mick Devereux (UBC), Pierre Fortin (UQAM), Herbert Grubel (Fraser Institute), Richard Harris (Simon Fraser), John McCallum (Royal Bank), Ronald McKinnon (Stanford), James Melvin (Waterloo), Sylvia Ostry (Toronto), Alexandre Swoboda (Geneva and IMF), George von Furstenberg (Indiana), Rob Waschik (Waterloo) and, of course, Robert Mundell (Columbia and Siena).
