Community currencies and sustainable development: A systematic review

Arnaud Michel and Marek Hudon

Ecological Economics, 2015, vol. 116, issue C, 160-171

Abstract: Community or complementary currency systems have spread all around the world. Most often, they have been promoted as tools to foster sustainable development albeit they differ in terms of specific objectives. While many case studies have tried to assess the actual impact of these systems, there has been no global analysis summarizing their global impact.
