Mundell's European currency vision
Banca d'Italia Governor Fabio Panetta is scheduled to deliver a speech at a workshop in Rome, held in memory of the influential economist Robert Mundell.
Panetta's address is titled 'Mundell's plan for a European currency: from theory to history.'
This speech will delve into the theoretical concepts that underpinned Mundell's vision for a common European currency.
The topic holds significant relevance for the euro area, as Mundell's work on optimal currency areas provided much of the intellectual framework for discussions surrounding European monetary integration.
Panetta's participation highlights the central bank's engagement with the historical and theoretical foundations of the single currency, reflecting on how academic insights have shaped the discourse around the European monetary union.
The event provides a platform to discuss the enduring impact of these ideas on contemporary monetary policy.

The workshop itself is a collaborative effort, organized by Banca d'Italia in partnership with the Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR) and LUISS University of Rome.
This joint organization underscores the importance of inter-institutional cooperation in fostering intellectual discourse on critical economic topics.
The collaboration brings together a diverse group of academic and policy experts to discuss the enduring impact of Robert Mundell's contributions to economic thought.
The event serves as a crucial platform for scholarly exchange on the historical and theoretical aspects of European monetary integration, reflecting on the intellectual legacy that continues to inform contemporary economic policy discussions.
