The digitalization of markets is proceeding at an ever-increasing pace, deeply transforming how customers shop for products and services, but also how firms interact with one another. The design of internet platforms and Blockchain protocols raises new challenges that can only be grasped through a sound understanding of computer science and economic incentives.
We will explore the economic concepts and computer science tools students need to acquire in order to participate to this transformation. The course will put an emphasis on Blockchains because of their disruptive potential. The structure of the course will reflect the interdisciplinary nature of the topic.
