Swedish economist Lars Calmfors argues against adopting the Danish model of a fixed exchange rate as a substitute for full Eurozone membership. In an opinion piece, Calmfors contends that a partial solution like the Danish approach is ultimately less effective than complete integration into the currency union. He suggests that if Sweden seeks the benefits of the Euro, it should fully commit to membership rather than pursuing a halfway measure. Calmfors, a professor emeritus in international economics and researcher at IFN, believes a complete step into the Eurozone is preferable. His analysis focuses on the limitations of a fixed exchange rate in achieving the economic advantages of a shared currency. The column appears on the opinion page of Dagens Nyheter.
