DOLLARIZATION IN UKRAINE
1991 to the Present
Presented by Professor Roy Gardner, Chancellors’ Professor of Economics and Affiliated Faculty, Workshop in Political Theory and Policy Analysis, Indiana University, Bloomington (Coauthors: Elisabeth S. Curtis, Drexel University, and Christopher J. Waller, Notre Dame University)
Abstract: The collapse of the USSR has left in its wake 12 former republics in a loose diplomatic formation, the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). Ukraine is a typical member of the CIS. Its economy is heavily dollarized, with the US dollar (and to a much lesser extent, the euro) performing the functions of money—rather than the local currency. Dollarization is intimately linked to the shadow economy and corruption, two of the major pathologies found throughout the CIS. Unlike the former satellites and the 3 Baltic republics, no member of the CIS—in particular, Ukraine--is on the road to Europe.
BIO: Roy Gardner received his PhD in Economics from Cornell University in 1975. He is Chancellor’s Professor of Economics and Remak Professor of West European Studies at Indiana University, and he has been a Faculty Associate of the Workshop for nearly 20 years. He also serves as Academic Director of the MA Program in Economics at Ukrainian National University “Kyiv-Mohyla Academy.” He specializes in applications of the theory of games to economic and social behavior. He is Associate Editor of the European Economic Review and a member of the Editorial Council of the Journal of Environmental Economics and Management.
