Publisher's Synopsis
In these papers and comments, prominent international economists consider past and present interpretations of the meaning of international policy coordination; conditions necessary for coordination to be beneficial both to the direct participants and the global economy; influential factors for the quantitative impact of coordination; obstacles to coordination; the most-and least-effective methods of coordination; and future directions of the coordination process, including processes associated with greater fixity of exchange rates.
These studies will be readily accessible to policymakers, while offering sophisticated analyses to interested scholars of the global economy.
