Proposal for a research project
Faculty/institute/unit of CU: CERGE
Research project title: Strategic Interactions in Monetary and Financial Systems: Currency Competition, Financial Stability, and Decentralized Consensus
Project description: This research project studies strategic interactions in monetary and financial systems, with a focus on how decentralized agents—firms, banks, and network participants—shape policy outcomes, financial stability, and coordination. It develops dynamic, game-theoretic frameworks to analyze (i) competition between central banks and private currency issuers, highlighting time-consistency, inflationary pressures, and regulatory trade-offs; (ii) the interaction of bank resolution regimes and deposit insurance, showing how these policies can induce endogenous fragility and undermine financial stability; and (iii) consensus formation in blockchain systems, where heterogeneous incentives limit the effectiveness of standard protocols and create fundamental constraints on information aggregation. Across these domains, the project identifies mechanisms through which policy design and institutional constraints can restore discipline, commitment, and stability.
What do we offer? Center for Economic Research and Graduate Education offers a comprehensive and supportive environment for international researchers at the beginning of their careers. It is ranked among the top 5% of research institutions worldwide by SSRN and RePEc Researchers have the opportunity to consult on their work with internationally recognized faculty who hold PhDs from leading global universities and are actively engaged in both academic research and policy-making.
