Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The appearance of digital currencies driven by technological innovation such as blockchain technology has already shown an impact on the financial markets, and we are about to witness a disruptive change in the nature of money. This has also led to an increased research interest and discussion in academia on the opportunities and challenges of digital currencies. This Special Issue of Economies aims to provide a collection of high-quality theoretical and empirical studies covering the economics of digital currencies. Topics of relevance include but are not limited to the functioning of digital currencies, financial market impact of digital currencies, implications of digital currencies for monetary policy, private versus public digital currencies, initial coin offerings, and the regulatory implications of digital currencies. We welcome original papers relating to these and other aspects of digital currencies.
