Students will also explore decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), decentralized finance (DeFi) mechanisms, and innovative crypto-driven business models. Through case studies, readings, and multimedia resources, students will critically analyze the economic implications and disruptive potential of these technologies. With a prerequisite knowledge of macro and microeconomics, students are assessed through a presentation and a major project, focusing on in-depth analysis and practical application of course concepts.
