Room: Aula Magna The proliferation of e-commerce has led to a decline in the use of cash as means of payment. At the same time, technological innovation enables the creation of new forms of digital money. While this development promises increased efficiency and convenience, it also gives rise to concerns about monetary sovereignty, privacy, and the role of public money as anchor for the monetary system. Against this background, central banks around the world are considering the case for central bank digital currency (CBDC).

Room: N24 These lectures - split into 3 lectures of 1.5 hours (08:30 - 10:00; 10:30 - 12:00 & 14:00 - 15:30) will review developments over the past two decades in the econometric analysis of durations and more general event histories, with a focus on current issues. They will cover the main classes of models that distinguish causal effects between events (state dependence) and the sorting effects of unobserved heterogeneity, provide a unified perspective on their identification, and discuss some of the computational and statistical challenges that arise, with empirical examples from labor economics, insurance economics, marketing, and/or other fields. Special topics may include the analysis of dynamic treatments and treatment effects and structural analysis using optimal stopping models and games.
