| Inhalt | In the monetary economics lecture, we have studied the theoretical foundations of the New Monetarist Economics framework, a very popular model used in monetary economics. Key issues addressed were the role of liquidity, the frictions that make money essential and the role of credit and financial intermediation for the economy. In this seminar, we use this knowledge to study Decentralized Finance (DeFi). The term DeFi refers to an alternative financial infrastructure built on top of blockchains such as the Ethereum blockchain. DeFi does not rely on intermediaries and centralized institutions. Instead, it is based on permissionless protocols and decentralized applications (DApps). The promise of this novel technology is to create a financial infrastructure that is more open, interoperable, and transparent in comparison to the existing financial infrastructure. The seminar can also be attended by students that have not participated in the monetary economics lecture. |
| Literatur | Literature: Your research should not be limited to the basic literature, such as textbooks. Textbooks and reviews will help you to get an overview, but these books usually are nothing more than collections and summaries of primary sources, such as articles in economic journals. Hence, it is a good strategy to get started with a basic textbook and then work through the referenced papers. |
