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
