罗伯特·芒德尔获得1999年诺贝尔经济学奖,部分是由于他的有关共同货币的预言性理论。这一理论为欧洲单一货币欧元奠定了基础。 这位哥伦比亚大学经济学家说,他对获奖感到既惊讶又高兴,但对他是欧元之父的看法不以为然。他在伦敦对路透社记者说:“这种看法太过分了——我也许是欧元教父,也许是若干教父之一。” Robert Mundell won the 1999 Nobel Prize in Economics, due in part to his predictive theory of the common currency. This theory has laid the foundation for the euro, the single currency of Europe. The Columbia University economist said he was both surprised and pleased about the award, but disagreed with him as the father of the euro. He told Reuters reporters in London: “This view is too far - I may be the godfather of the euro, maybe one of the godfather.”
