Episode 12: Agent-Based Simulation of CBDC

In this podcast episode, Valentin Seehausen, COO of the DEA, interviews Dr. Kimmo Soramäki from FNA. FNA builds models that are based on agent-based modelling (ABM) and consults central banks from all over the world. Valentin and Kimmo discuss how the ABM approach differs from models that central banks have been using in the last decades. They focus on the CBDC simulator, an ABM model that can simulate the effects that different parameters of a CBDC could have on the economy.
