Research
Price stability for cryptocurrencies (Hayek Money), bitcoin and distributed ledgers, and interest rate modelling.
My academic research focuses on price stability, advocating automated non-discretionary elastic monetary policy for a new generation of cryptocurrencies (Hayek Money). Earlier papers are about interest rate curves and derivatives.
