One recent and notable example is the emergence of virtual currencies (such as Bitcoin) also known as cryptocurrencies. Virtual currencies introduced a fundamental transformation that affected the way goods, services and assets are exchanged. As a result of its distributed ledgers based on blockchain, cryptocurrencies not only offer some unique advantages to the economy, investors, and consumers, but also pose considerable risks to users and challenges for regulators when fitting the new technology into the old legal framework. The core of this proposed book is to present and discuss the evidence on financial asset capabilities of virtual currencies. The contributors of this volume analyze several interesting and timely issues such as the particularities of virtual currencies and their statistical characteristics; the diversification benefits of virtual currencies; the behavior and dependence structure between virtual currencies and the financial markets; the economic implications of virtual currencies, their effects, their price risk, and contagion spillovers in a unified and comprehensive framework; the future of virtual currencies and their distributed ledgers technology.Contributions to Management Science,1431-1941Risk managementBusiness enterprises—FinanceMacroeconomicsBanks and bankingEconomics, Mathematical ComputersRisk Managementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/612040Business Financehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/512000Macroeconomics/Monetary Economics//Financial Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W32000Bankinghttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/626010Quantitative Financehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M13062Information Systems and Communication Servicehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I18008Risk management.Business enterprises—Finance.Macroeconomics.Banks and banking.Economics, Mathematical .Computers.Risk Management.Business Finance.Macroeconomics/Monetary Economics//Financial Economics.Banking.Quantitative Finance.Information Systems and Communication Service.343.032332.4Goutte Stéphaneedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtGuesmi Khalededthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtSaadi Samir(Associate professor and fellow in behavioral finance)edthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910370254803321Cryptofinance and Mechanisms of Exchange2228273UNINA
