Economics of Digital Finance
BSc Course - 8 Lessons x 45 Minutes
Course Overview
This course examines digital finance through four economic lenses:
- Monetary Economics: CBDCs, money theory, payment systems, financial stability

- Market Microstructure: Price discovery, liquidity, trading mechanisms
- Regulatory Economics: Financial regulation, competition policy, consumer protection
Target Audience
Economics and finance students with strong theoretical background. Focus is on economic analysis rather than technical implementation.
