Abstract

. Cryptocurrencies are an increasing concern for national governments and international institutions. Anonymity, real-time transactions, together with the lack of intermediaries and control from financial and economic authorities make them appealing to criminals. Despite of the global efforts for standardizing the approach to cryptocurrencies, there are several risks identified and the way governments are facing them is not uniform. This paper analyzes the relation between goodness of governance and the use of cryptocurrencies on a sample of 33 countries. The results confirm that goodness of governance, by itself, dissuades people from holding and using cryptocurrencies. Additionally, our findings show that this effect relies on different governance factors, depending on how extended the use of cryptocurrencies is.

良好的治理是否会阻止公民使用加密货币？

.加密货币越来越受到各国政府和国际机构的关注。匿名、实时交易，加上缺乏中介机构和金融和经济当局的控制，使它们对犯罪分子具有吸引力。尽管全球都在努力使加密货币的方法标准化，但仍发现了一些风险，各国政府面临这些风险的方式也不一致。本文以33个国家为样本，分析了治理质量与加密货币使用之间的关系。研究结果证实，善治本身就阻止了人们持有和使用加密货币。此外，我们的研究结果表明，这种影响取决于不同的治理因素，具体取决于加密货币的使用范围。
