Michael Dooley of the University of California at Santa Cruz concluded by discussing the risks associated with an Argentina-style currency board or - by a controversial extension - the risks implicit in the transition to European economic and monetary union (EMU). He argued that both currency boards and, initially EMU, entail the use of a dual unit of account (for example, for a time, private agents in France will have contracts issued in francs and in euros). 3, record 2, English, - currency%20board

Michael Dooley, de la Universidad de California en Santa Cruz, concluyó examinando los riesgos que conlleva una caja de conversión como la de Argentina o los riesgos implícitos en la transición a la unión económica y monetaria de Europa (UEM). Dooley indicó que los países que participen en la UEM pueden reducir los riesgos que entraña la transición comprometiéndose firmemente a mantener la unión monetaria. 3, record 2, Spanish, - caja%20de%20conversi%C3%B3n
