罗伯特·蒙代尔(Robert A. Mundell)简介
罗伯特·蒙代尔(Robert A. Mundell)哥伦比亚大学经济学教授，1999年诺贝尔经济学奖获得者。美国麻省理工学院(MIT)经济学博士。他具有革新意义的研究为欧元汇率奠定了理性基础。他对不同汇率体制下货币与财政政策以及最适宜的货币流通区域所做的分析使他获得这一殊荣。蒙代尔对经济学的伟大贡献：一是开放条件下宏观稳定政策的理论(蒙代尔-
-弗莱明模型)，二是最优货币区域理论。
事实上，从60年代至今，世界经济发展中的一个显著特点就是随着世界经济一体化与全球化的发展，产品、服务、尤其是资本可以通过贸易和投资大规模的跨国界流动。在一个更为开放的经济体系中，一国的货币主权和财政政策效果更多的受到外部世界的制约，宏观调控能力下降。经济学越来越难以对经济前景进行预测，一个重要原因就是传统的宏观和微观经济学在经济全球化条件下面临新的挑战，可以说蒙代尔关于开放经济条件下的国际经济学的研究正是在迎接这样的挑战，他是一位伟大的先行者和预言家。
