Gregory Chin, York University

How does RMB internationalization compare to previous cases of currency internationalization, including the yen, and the US dollar? Should we expect any difference in outcome from previous cases of limited success, such as the efforts to internationalize the yen in the 1980s, 1990s and early 2000s? If so, why.
