Master's Thesis from the year 2019 in the subject Economics - Monetary theory and policy, grade: 2,0, University of Potsdam, language: English, abstract: This thesis explores and analyses the technical and economic factors that determine the potential of blockchain technology for economy and society and their interactions. At the technical level, blockchain technology is portrayed as a combination of different base technologies. It enables new, potentially disruptive applications by providing an efficient technical solution for the fundamental double-spending problem. Based on these findings, blockchain technology is analyzed regarding a new Techno-economic paradigm. However, this does not (yet) appear to be the case, at least from an isolated perspective. From an institutional economics perspective, blockchain technology proves to be a rule-based system and thus a basis for alternative institutions. On the one hand, these enable new forms of economic interaction and coordination and, on the other hand, these are subject to novel governance mechanisms. It turns out that these decentralized blockchain-based forms can lead to higher efficiency in systems that have been dependent on traditional intermediaries up to now due to lower transaction costs. In contrast, there emerge new intermediaries within the blockchain ecosystem, which reminds of traditional schemes.

Blockchain is a technology that transcends cryptocurrencies. There are other services in different sectors of the economy that can benefit from the trust and security that blockchains offer. For example, financial institutions are using blockchains for international money transfer, and in logistics, it has been used for supply chain management and tracking of goods. As more global companies and governments are experimenting and deploying blockchain solutions, it is necessary to compile knowledge on the best practices, strategies, and failures in order to create a better awareness of how blockchain could either support or add value to other services. Cross-Industry Use of Blockchain Technology and Opportunities for the Future provides emerging research highlighting the possibilities inherent in blockchain for different sectors of the economy and the added value blockchain can provide for the future of these different sectors. Featuring coverage on a broad range of topics such as data privacy, information sharing, and digital identity, this book is ideally designed for IT specialists, consultants, design engineers, cryptographers, service designers, researchers, academics, government officials, and industry professionals.

Blockchain is no longer just about bitcoin or cryptocurrencies in general. Instead, it can be seen as a disruptive, revolutionary technology which will have major impacts on multiple aspects of our lives. The revolutionary power of such technology compares with the revolution sparked by the World Wide Web and the Internet in general. Just as the Internet is a means of sharing information, so blockchain technologies can be seen as a way to introduce the next level: sharing value. Blockchain and Web 3.0 fills the gap in our understanding of blockchain technologies by hosting a discussion of the new technologies in a variety of disciplinary settings. Indeed, this volume explains how such technologies are disruptive and comparatively examines the social, economic, technological and legal consequences of these disruptions. Such a comparative perspective has previously been underemphasized in the debate about blockchain, which has subsequently led to weaknesses in our understanding of decentralized technologies. Underlining the risks and opportunities offered by the advent of blockchain technologies and the rise of Web 3.0, this book will appeal to researchers and academics interested in fields such as sociology and social policy, cyberculture, new media and privacy and data protection.

Blockchain is a technology that tends to be misunderstood by managers that need to make technology acquisition decisions. This book will provide readers with a basic understanding of blockchain and distributed ledger technology (DLT), the technologies that underpin it, and the technologies DLT is built upon. The book is purposefully not a book on how to code or explore other technical aspects of blockchain (other than the fundamentals). Rather, it provides managers with the basic understanding of the architectures and consensus algorithms, how they work, the design trade-offs of each architecture type, and what problems and use cases the core characteristics of DLT are best suited to solve ─ providing business managers with the core information they need to ask the right questions of vendors when making business value assessments and acquisition decisions.

Every industry will be positively affected by blockchain and AI technology at some point. However, blockchain is a misunderstood technology within the publishing realm. The scholarly publishing industry can significantly improve the flow of research, drive down costs, and introduce new efficiencies in the publishing industry with these new technologies. The scholarly publishing industry is in its early days of the digital transformation, and blockchain and AI technology could play a major role in this. However, the industry has been resistant to change. These reasons include but are not limited to staying with legacy systems, cost of new platforms, changing cultures, and understanding and adopting new technologies. With proper research and information provided, the publishing industry can adopt these technologies for beneficial advancements and the generation of a bright future. Transforming Scholarly Publishing With Blockchain Technologies and AI explores the changing landscape of scholarly publishing and how blockchain technologies and AI are slowly being integrated and used within the industry. This book covers both the benefits and challenges of implementing technology and provides both cases and new developments. Topics highlighted include business model developments, new efficiencies in scholarly publishing, blockchain in research libraries, knowledge discovery, and blockchain in academic publishing. This book is a valuable reference tool for publishers, IT specialists, technologists, publishing vendors, researchers, academicians, and students who are interested in how blockchain technologies and AI are transforming and developing a modern scholarly publishing industry.

Blockchain technology is being adopted mainly in cryptocurrencies and digital transactions. However, evidence suggests it can be utilized for multiple different purposes, far beyond virtual money, due to its characteristics of immutability, transparency in recorded information, and exemption from a central authority. Supporting Technologies and the Impact of Blockchain on Organizations and Society collects the most recent developments on the technological, organizational, and social dimensions of blockchain technology on the security and traceability in value and supply chains to assure trust and reliable processes. Covering key topics such as governance, regulations, new business models, and technological trends, this premier reference source is ideal for computer scientists, managers, entrepreneurs, business owners, policymakers, researchers, academicians, practitioners, scholars, instructors, and students.
