On the Necessity and Desirability of CBDC
Remarks prepared for P2PFISY Panel Discussion, December 1, 2021 At a conceptual level, CBDC is a compelling idea.

Since all debiting and crediting of accounts occurs on the central bank’s balance sheet, all the costs and counterparty risks associated with...

Measuring expected inflation with breakevens
A U.S. Treasury security typically promises to repay an investor a flow of coupon payments and then principal repayment once the security matures. These payments are made in U.S. dollars. A security that promises to deliver future dollars is called a nominal security. Most U.S. Treasury securities are nominal securities.

Both of them suggest we should slow down any effort to issue CBDC.But before I get to that, what is a CBDC? In...
