Assuming only a hierarchical structure of the heavy Majorana neutrino masses and of the neutrino Dirac mass matrix m_D of the see-saw mechanism, we find that in order to produce the observed baryon asymmetry of the Universe via leptogenesis, the scale of m_D should be given by the up-quark masses. Lepton flavor violating decays \mu \to e + \gamma, \tau \to \mu + \gamma and \tau \to e + \gamma are considered and a characteristic relation between their decay rates is predicted. The effective Majorana mass in neutrinoless double beta decay depends on the CP violating phase controlling the leptogenesis if one of the heavy Majorana neutrinos is much heavier than the other two. Successful leptogenesis requires a rather mild mass hierarchy between the latter. The compatibility of this hierarchical see-saw model with the low energy neutrino mixing phenomenology requires that the mixing angle limited by the CHOOZ and Palo Verde experiments should be relatively large, \sin^2\theta_3 \gtap 0.01. The CP violation effects in neutrino oscillations can be observable. In general, there is no direct connection between the latter and the CP violation in leptogenesis. If the CP violating phases of the see-saw model satisfy certain relations, the baryon asymmetry of the Universe and the rephasing invariant J_{CP} which determines the magnitude of the CP violation effects in neutrino oscillations, depend on the same CP violating phase and their signs are correlated.
