Crypto-Currencies in a Digital Economy

Jamsheed presented the paper “Hedonic Pricing of Cryptocurrency Tokens” at the 2nd Berlin Conference ‘Crypto-Currencies in a Digital Economy (CCConf18)’ on November 30th. The presentation, given to an inter-disciplinary audience of economists, computer scientists and legal experts, outlined a token valuation approach using hedonic pricing theory in a partial equilibrium setting. This approach has applications for pricing cryptocurrency tokens as well as understanding the underlying relationships between relative consumer demand for different characteristics of the same underlying token.
