The Workshop on Digital Currency Economics and Policy Is Jointly Organised by the Asian Bureau of Finance and Economic Resea
“The Workshop on Digital Currency Economics and Policy is jointly organised by the Asian Bureau of Finance and Economic Research (ABFER), the National University of Singapore (NUS) Business School and MAS. This Workshop, to be held in conjunction with the Singapore FinTech Festival 2018, aims to focus applied economic and financial research efforts on the implications of digital currencies for monetary policy and the financial system. It seeks to provide a platform for established academics in their mainstream areas of monetary and financial economics to apply their expertise to analysing the implications of digital currencies, and to encourage discussions on how the existing frameworks and paradigms of thinking about monetary and financial policies can be extended to incorporate this new technology-enabled development.” Competition amongst monies has a long history. Private or foreign money, if trusted, can serve as a medium of exchange, store of value and unit of account, alongside or even displacing, government-issued monies. Recent technological advancement has lowered the barriers to entry for users to create private digital instruments that behave like currencies, often without any issuer. Many of these have market prices (which reflect the value that holders assign to them) and are accepted by some merchants as payment for goods and services. Correspondingly, multiple private monies, called digital currencies, have emerged. While their economic significance is still debatable, the phenomenon raises many important monetary policy and regulatory issues. Digital monies can impact an economy, affect transaction arrangements and efficiency, and disrupt financial intermediation and related business models – especially in banking. They may modulate the relationship between traditional fiat money and price, savings and investment behaviour, and also expand avenues for illegal transactions. -

2001 Report: Richard Green, Editor
THE JOURNAL OF FINANCE • VOL. LVII, NO. 4 • AUGUST 2002 AMERICAN FINANCE ASSOCIATION Report of the Editor of The Journal of Finance for the Year 2001 This report covers my first full year as Editor of the Journal of Finance. The Journal is doing very well. Submissions are running at a record pace, we are attracting outstanding papers across the full range of topics in fi- nancial economics, and turnaround times are very good. The transition from the previous editor is almost complete. The Journal continues to provide the scholarly community in financial economics an outlet that is both broadly representative and high quality. I. Transition between Editorial Offices The first papers I accepted appeared in the June issue of this past year. In the remaining issues for 2001 a majority of the papers were accepted by René Stulz, the previous editor. During 2002, this will change over, and most issues will consist predominantly of papers I have accepted. The February 2002 issue contains 19 papers, 5 of which I accepted. The April, June, and October issues, which have all been scheduled, will each contain 3 or 4 papers accepted by René. There are no remaining active files still being handled by René. He and Robyn Scholl, his assistant at Ohio State, have continued to offer help and guidance cheerfully whenever the need has arisen, and I appreciate their help very much. II. Journal Size As part of the transition, the Executive Committee agreed to increase the page budget for the Journal during the year 2000. In the six issues in 2000 the Journal published 98 papers ~81 in the regular issues!. -
