Kenneth P. Jameson. “Is It Possible to De-dollarize? The Case of Ecuador”. Journal of Political Economy. 2003 – “The policy reform termed dollarization, adoption of a foreign currency as the domestic currency, is widely believed to be irreversible.

It then uses Ecuador, the longest-lasting of the recent dollarizers, to examine all aspects of the possibility and process of de-dollarizing.”
