recent research papers in the FinTech area. Two of the topics we will cover relate to FinTech
disruption of banking, through private company actions in the lending and payment markets, and
through central bank action in the form of a Central Bank Digital Currency. The third topic is
Initial Coin Offerings, which represent a new way to finance firms. Within each topic, the focus
will be on covering a few theoretical papers in detail, and talk about empirical findings where
applicable. On each paper, the plan is to go through the model, the assumptions, and the main
propositions.
The course methods will include standard tools from information economics (such as adverse selec-
tion and moral hazard) and game theory (such as perfect Bayesian equilibrium).
