ABSTRACT
In March 1995 a workshop on “Monetary Standards and Exchange Rates” took place in Perugia, Italy. The workshop was organized by Maria Cristina Marcuzzo and Annalisa Rosselli, two of the editors of this volume, and was financed by a research grant provided by the Italian National Research Council in collaboration with the Research Division of the Bank of Italy. A distinguished group of economists and economic historians from Europe and the United States attended the workshop.
