FROM THE REAL TO THE EURO, VIA THE ESCUDO
The title is the same as that of my maiden presentation at the Lisbon Academy of Science on 18 June, 1998.
It also draws on research carried out over twenty years, in particular:
Portuguese currency experience: an historical perspective, Festschrift Teixeira Ribeiro, Coimbra: 1980
Currency convertibility: the gold standard and beyond (co-edited with Barry Eichengreen and Jaime Reis), London: Routledge, 1996
