[23].

Between 2012 and 2015, Tasca worked as an Economist at Deutsche Bundesbank[3], where he founded the P2P Financial Systems International Workshop [24], [25], [26], a cross-sectoral platform involving academics, technologists and regulators to debate topics related to P2P economics [27], [19]. This workshop has been hosted at the Deutsche Bundesbank, the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, the University College London, and the European Central Bank [28], [29], [25], [30].
