معرفی
Cyril Monnet is a full Professor at the Economic Institute of the University of Bern, Switzerland, with dual affiliations at the main university campus in Bern and the Study Center Gerzensee. His institutional roles include active participation in the World Trade Institute (WTI) and other research centers within the Economic Institute ecosystem.
His research program centers on three core pillars:
- Monetary Theory (examining money's fundamental properties and functions)
- Financial Intermediation (analyzing banking structures and credit allocation)
- Macroeconomics (investigating systemic economic dynamics)
Recent scholarly output reveals a pronounced focus on digital currency ecosystems, where he pioneers theoretical frameworks for central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), stablecoins, and distributed ledger systems. His work critically assesses privacy implications in digital payments, banking sector vulnerabilities under new monetary architectures, and optimal liquidity backstop designs. Methodologically, he integrates game-theoretic models with empirical validation, particularly in consensus mechanisms and truth-verification systems for decentralized finance.
Professor Monnet's publication trajectory demonstrates deep engagement with real-world policy challenges, including Swiss National Bank liquidity operations, ECB Digital Euro implementation hurdles, and systemic risk mitigation in collateralized credit chains. His research consistently bridges theoretical rigor with actionable insights for central banking institutions globally.
Based in office A316 at Schanzeneckstrasse 1, Bern, he maintains an active research presence through cyrilmonnet.ch while contributing to the University of Bern's leadership in monetary economics through the Economic Institute's collaborative framework with the Oeschger Center for Climate Change Research and Center for Regional Economic Development.
