Research - Monetary Economics

Diemo Dietrich’s profile on Ideas

Primary research interests lie in the areas of Financial Stability, Financial Innovation, Banking & Banking Regulation, (digital) Currencies, and Corporate Finance. We use ideas primarily from information economics and game theory (e.g., contracts, coordination games, cheap talk) as well as dynamic macroeconomics (overlapping generations economies).

The current research focuses on innovation under uncertainty and its role for efficiency and stability of financial systems. It aims at gaining a better understanding of its macroeconomic and policy implications.

Themes

• Financial systems, innovation, and endogenous information acquisition and dissemination
• Financial (in)stability when markets are incomplete
• Monetary policy with credit frictions
• Financial contracting and boundaries of the (multinational) firm
