Sebastian Doerr
I am an economist at the Bank for International Settlements in the Monetary and Economic Department, where I examine the consequences of financial innovation for data privacy, credit supply, and competition in the financial sector. I also work on the implications of the rise of fintechs and cryptoassets for financial stability.
Here you can find my research papers, my policy work, and selected media coverage.
