The Florence School of Banking & Finance will host Tuesday, August 27, at 13:00 to 14:00, an online seminar with Professor Jean-Pierre Landau on "The Digitalization of Money". Beyond discussing the future of money, Professor Landau will also examine how digitalization will (1) increase the potential for currency competition; (2) change the architecture of domestic and international monetary systems; and (3) affect the respective role of public and private money.

Thinking about enhancing this experience, we will exhibit the online seminar in Konferenzraum 205 at the Institute of Law & Economics, Johnsallee 35. Our goal is to complement the seminar with a brief discussion on potential research topics in collaboration with the "Law, Finance, and Technology" program. For more information, check the Florence School website. Moreover, let us know if you are interested in also joining us at the Institute of Law & Economics through lft"AT"ile-hamburg.de.
