Classic and contemporary readings on the measurement and determination of international financial integration are collected in this two- volume set. The three most influential methods to
measure international financial integration are covered: deviations from interest rate parity, correlations between savings and investment ratios, and cross-country consumption growth
correlations. There is also a section on determinants. Some specific topics discussed include capital controls, domestic saving and international capital flows, and financial integration in
Europe. Eijffinger teaches European financial economics at Tilburg University, The Netherlands. Lemmen is an economist with CPB Netherlands Bureau for Economic Policy Analysis. Annotation (c)
