CALL FOR PAPERS ECIS2021
The Token Economy - Blockchain Applications beyond Fintech
European Conference on Information Systems, June 14-16, 2021
Marrakech, Morocco
http://www.ecis2021.com/tracks-description
Track Description :
Blockchain technologies enable the creation of cryptographic
tokens, namely representations of tangible (e.g., real estate) or
intangible (e.g., patent) assets as tokens that are easy to
purchase and trade. A multitude of potential use cases that go far
beyond financial applications are currently envisioned and pilots
tested, but numerous technical, organizational and legal hurdles
still exist which might impede the widespread adoption of a token
economy. Furthermore, acceptance among non-institutional end users
is still low.
The token economy thus raises numerous important questions,
ranging from a critical evaluation of the capabilities and
limitations of tokens from a technical perspective toward its
applicability to transform economic structures through the
tokenization of business processes, real-world assets, and
property rights. Additionally, legal and trust issues exist, which
are exacerbated by the borderless nature of blockchain
technologies. Given the novelty of the token economy, numerous
questions regarding the nature of the technology and its potential
socio-economic implications need to be solved.
To address these gaps, this track calls for academic research on
blockchain-based tokens and their potential technical, economic
and social implications. We invite innovative and relevant
empirical (qualitative and quantitative) studies as well as
design-oriented research and conceptual/theoretical papers. Topics
of interest include, but are not limited to:
Token economy and new forms of economic organizing (e.g., co-ops,
decentralized platforms, public good provision)
Socio-technical systems view of the token economy
Token-based business models and use cases beyond finance
Economics of tokenized networks
Institutional and user acceptance of cryptographic tokens
Factors influencing the success of token-based business models
Token taxonomy
Token-based entrepreneurship
The role and impact of tokens on venture capital (e.g., ICOs,
STOs, IEOs)
Macroeconomic implications of the token economy
Tokens as incentive mechanisms
Governance of decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) and
their potentials and limitations
Security and privacy issues of tokens
Legal implications and challenges of a token economy
Philosophical perspectives of a token economy
