  • Examining the volatility spillover in leading cryptocurrencies and investigating the hedge/safe haven properties of Ethereum 
    Baz, Roland (Notre Dame University-Louaize, 2020-12)
    Purpose: This paper investigates the interconnectedness of the five largest cryptocurrencies in terms of market capitalization namely, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, Bitcoin Cash and Litecoin through a volatility spillover inspection. It also studies the hedging and/or safe haven capabilities of Ethereum, the second largest cryptocurrency in terms of market capitalization, against the main conventional currencies and the traditional assets in the United States and the European markets. Design/methodology/approach: In the first part of the research, univariate general autoregressive conditional ...
  • Model-driven approach to smart contract development with automatic code generation 
    Eid, Christian (Notre Dame University-Louaize., 2020)
    Existing smart contract development languages are unique to their related block chain platforms. Thus, multiple versions of the same smart contract must be developed for different block chains. This thesis presents a model-driven approach to smart contract development with automatic code generation. This approach encompasses a new XML-based programming language to develop smart contracts and a code generator that transforms those contracts to a platform-specific programming language. The XML-based language was discussed, and all supported constructs were illustrated. The code generation tool ...
