This study explains what a currency board is and how it differs from a central bank, and examines the advantages and disadvantages of each type of arrangement. The author concludes that currency boards may be quite attractive to small, open economies and a useful prop in those emerging from a very deep macroeconomic crisis, but that their disadvantages outweigh these attractions in most large countries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Williamson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0881322229\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780881322224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peterson Institute for International Economic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.01h x 6.03w x 0.24d","brand":"John Williamson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926749315327,"sku":"9780881322224","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_295b9c51-8b79-46bb-a0e3-a0074b5e3709.jpg?v=1681084797","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/what-role-for-currency-boards-john-williamson-9780881322224","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
