The U.S. Dollar in Crisis: The Role of Asset-Backed Digital Currencies in Its Transformation

This dataset supports the thesis The U.S. Dollar in Crisis: The Role of Asset-Backed Digital Currencies in Its Transformation by Nicolin Decker. It provides empirical data and econometric models to analyze the feasibility of Asset-Backed Digital Currencies (ABDCs) as a stabilizing alternative to fiat monetary systems. Spanning historical macroeconomic data (1970–2024) and projected ABDC circulation trends (2026–2036), the dataset includes inflation-adjusted monetary indicators, crisis response simulations, and global trade impact assessments. Key analyses incorporate Vector Autoregression (VAR), Monte Carlo simulations, Granger causality tests, and DSGE modeling to evaluate ABDC's effect on inflation control, liquidity stability, and financial resilience. The dataset is structured for full reproducibility, ensuring rigorous validation of ABDC’s role in modernizing global monetary policy.
