Letzte Änderung: Mo 13.04.2026 09:45
Throughout, we combine conceptual and institutional considerations with policy debates and simple analytical frameworks. We discuss implications for financial stability, monetary policy/sovereignty, innovation in payment systems, and how these new forms of digital money should be regulated.
At the end of the course, participants should be able to:
• Explain how the current two-tier monetary system works and how money is created and destroyed.
• Understand the basic technological and economic features of new forms of digital money (stablecoins, CBDCs, and tokenized deposits).
• Analyze key risks and benefits of new forms of digital money for financial stability, monetary policy, payments efficiency, and competition.
• Critically assess current regulatory and policy approaches to digital money in different jurisdictions.
• Formulate and defend their own views on how the future monetary system should be designed.Target group: PhD students and Master students in Economics, Banking &Finance, and related fields
