Abstract
Analyse les avantages et les inconvénients de la dollarisation intégrale, ou de l'adoption par un pays de la monnaie d'un autre pays. Les avantages potentiels sont notamment l'abaissement des coûts d'emprunt et la plus grande intégration avec les marchés mondiaux. Mais les pays perdent la possibilité de dévaluer leur monnaie et deviennent dépendants des États-Unis. Comparaison avec l'option d'une caisse d'émission.

Abstract
Analiza los costos y beneficios de la plena dolarización, o de la adopción de la moneda de otro país. La reducción de los costos de endeudamiento y una integración más profunda en los mercados mundiales son posibles ventajas. Pero el país pierde la posibilidad de devaluar su moneda, y pasa a depender de Estados Unidos. Es comparable a un régimen de caja de conversión o convertibilidad.
