Abstract
This paper examines how the subsequent launch of the Euro and the move toward dollarization has prompted debate as to Canada's potential involvement in such a union with the United States. It attempts to prove how under a common currency, the costs to Canada would prevail over the benefits and such a step would be detrimental to aspects of Canadian economics, society, politics and culture.
From the Paper
"It is an advantage for Canada to have control over its monetary policy for several reasons. By increasing the money supply, the Bank of Canada can lower interest rates, which lowers the exchange rate. As mentioned above, flexible exchange rates adjust to falling export prices and in so doing, reduce unemployment. Even if the Bank of Canada does, for the most part, tend to follow suit with the Federal Reserve Bank's interest rate decisions; it is doing so by choice because it is deemed that this is in Canada's best interest. It is comforting to know that when extenuating circumstances arise, decisions on monetary policy ultimately rest with the Bank of Canada, which is primarily concerned with the wellbeing of Canada."

Abstract
A single currency in NAFTA has been an issue that has become more frequent today in North America. In determining whether this is a good decision or not it is important to review the pros and cons of having a single currency. This paper analyzes what might be the impact if the nations of the North American Free Trade Agreement were to launch a monetary union policy. The paper also discusses the advantages and disadvantages for each nation and its impact on the economy. Graphs are provided where relevant.
From the Paper
"Some of the Canadian politicians like Courchene and Harris have argued that if Canada creates a monetary union with the United States it would "reduce transaction costs, that is how much it costs to make a certain trade in terms of time. These costs are incurred because of border-related paperwork and the use of two currencies that fluctuate in value against each other. A monetary union would relieve companies of these costs, reduce the paperwork and offer a more stable macro-economic environment allowing for more accurate calculation of profit margins." According to the above statements and research it is apparent that a single currency would be beneficial to MNEs in NAFTA in many different ways especially in terms of financial costs."

Abstract
An analysis of how American policy makers determine money policy and how those decisions affect the American economy.
From the Paper
"Monetary policy is aggregate demand regulation by means money supply and interest rates management. For example, monetary policy has to solve such problems as how to finance budget deficit. How does monetary policy affect the economy? And what points should government focus on? The point of implementing policy through raising or lowering interest rates is to affect people's and firms' demand for goods and services."

The European Monetary Union, 2005.

Abstract
This paper explains that the future of the the European Monetary Union (EMU) is questionable because the leaders of the EMU and the world have some grave doubts as to its future; however, there is a never-ending stream of applications of new nations, mostly from Eastern Europe, wishing to join. The author points out that the problems revolve around the issues of (1) determining the size of the role of the welfare state; (2) the conflict about monetary policies, led by the United Kingdom and (3) corruption within member nations. The paper suggest that the resolution of the welfare issues through such mechanisms as a community's insurance is unlikely given (1) the cost, (2) the risk factors, (3) the macro-economic factors and (4) the failure of some of the countries already within the EMU to resolve their own individual country's welfare issues.

From the Paper
"Developments towards more segmented welfare states or dual welfare states are likely, although national governments may still maintain regulatory and taxation tools to control the growth of market based and other non-governmental welfare provisions in such a way that universal access to quality welfare provision and relatively equal distributions of income and welfare is possible. This will remain domestic policy issues and choices for which national governments to a large extent can be held politically accountable. But the social and political bases for state organized solidarity. Likewise, new forms of solidarity may develop on a trans-national or trans-regional basis where state boundaries will to a lesser extent than before constrain or limit such solidarity from developing."

From the paper:
? In 1969, the European summit at The Hague made EMU an official objective. In 1970, the Werner report proposed a plan that would unite the economies and monies of Europe over a ten-year period. However, the plan was tabled because of several economic factors, including the oil shortage, weakness of the U.S. dollar, and divergent economic policies around the world. The plan resurfaced in 1979 when the European Monetary System (EMS) was created.?

Abstract
A paper which introduces, discusses and analyzes the history, benefits, costs, and challenges of the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) and the Euro. The paper also includes a critical assessment of the sources used.
From the Paper
"On the other hand, the Internet resources tended to be much more biased and less reliable than the texts that were used. The Euro web site only presents the positive aspects of switching currencies, and the news reports tend to show the negatives of the switch. The texts were more balanced and uniform in their discussion, and in their handling of both positive and negative issues involved in the treaties, and with the Euro itself. Often it was not clear what background the Internet authors had to write about their topics, and sources used were mostly interviews, not written or scholarly sources. The Internet sources serve a purpose, but basing a report on those sources alone could bias the report if the writer did not recognize and overcome the bias."

"THE COMING OF THE EURO & ITS POTENTIAL EFFECTS ON THE US$
Background on the Issue
European monetary union has been envisioned since the founding of the European Community (EC). The creation of the European Monetary System (EMS) represented a major step toward eventual monetary union. It was not until the ratification of the Treaty of Maastricht, however, that specific criteria for full participation by an EC member nation in EMU were adopted (?From Here to EMU,? 1995).
Monetary union is a component of the regional integration of nations. The fourth level of such integration is economic union, which includes the adding of monetary and fiscal harmonization among member countries to the common market system. The final level of regional integration, political .."

North American Currency Union, 2002.
An overview of the pros and cons of North American dollarization on Canadian public policy.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper will look at North American dollarization from the perspective of Canadian public policy. On the surface, it seems as though the dollarization of North America may be an example of good economic and financial policy not only as a competitive response to the euro, but because of the existing patterns of trade in NAFTA. Beneath the surface, however, there are many reasons indicating that it is very unlikely to come to light, at least in the short term. In contrast to Europe, which has committed to extensive political cooperation throughout the post-war period and unlike South America which has relatively little to lose in any case the US and Canada have neither history or intentions of partnering up on monetary policy or other sensitive politico-economic issues.

Abstract
Examines the nature of the Bank of England, England's monetary policy and the recent history of the pound. Included in this study is a look at how the value of the Pound is determined and England's position on European Monetary Union.
From the Paper
"Many feel that much of Britain?s autonomy centers on Sterling and the Bank of England. The United Kingdom was the most prominent country to have abstained from Europe?s effort to create a common currency, which caused such prominent and popular political figures as Lady Margaret Thatcher to be ousted. Once a mere cog in the economic hegemony of the United States following the Bretton Woods conference, England is a currency trading powerhouse, with nearly 700 billion pounds sterling trading hands every day in London?s interbank market. In that many believe or once believed the currency issue to have the ability to economically castrate Britain, the nature of the Bank of England, monetary policy, and the recent history of the Pound deserve our redress."
