Technological innovation and new regulations drive continuous changes
in retail and whole-sale payment systems and other financial market
infrastructures. To understand and shape these changes, research on
the economics of payments is important and will have a bearing on many
areas of economics, including industrial organization, behavioral,
monetary, and regulatory economics. This Economics of Payments
conference offers an opportunity for central bank and academic
economists to present theoretical and applied work and share views on
a variety of topics related to the functioning and risks of payment
and settlement systems in a changing regulatory and technological
environment.

The Deutsche Bundesbank – as one of the providers, users and overseers
of Europe’s real-time gross settlement system TARGET2 and the
securities settlement platform TARGET2-Securities – actively fosters
research and analysis in the field of payment and settlement sys-tems.
Therefore, the Deutsche Bundesbank is pleased to host the conference
Economics of Payments VIII and welcomes all interested researchers and
economists at its conference center in Eltville (Germany) to present
and discuss their studies with the following focus:
• Innovation in payment and settlement systems
• Interlinkage of financial market infrastructures
• Collateral and liquidity management
• Instant payments
• Blockchain and related technologies
• Risk management and security of financial market infrastructures
• Payment behaviour
• Effects of regulation on financial market infrastructures
