The experience of the US in forming a unified monetary system during the 19th century provides important lessons for the European Union's own efforts at creating an economic and monetary union (EMU).

The debate over the single currency will start only upon the creation of an EMU.

The implications of exchange rate uncertainty for the behavior of a competitive firm, particularly the impact of exchange rate volatility on the optimal export policy are analyzed. A model of this firm is presented with ex post flexibility as to the sale of its products in a domestic or foreign market. Results show an increase in exchange rate volatility increases the production volume and international trade if relative risk aversion is less than unity, thus exchange rate volatility may have positive impact on international trade.
