I wrote a paper on the economic aspects of ecash and other electronic
cashes last month.  I believe I posted it onto cypherpunks.  Main
conclusion was that ecash is equivalent to cash in terms of bank practice
and money supply.  I'll send you a copy if you want.  Not seen any mention
in the academic press though (either of my paper or of any others). 

PS the ecash mailing list is low volume and pretty focused.  discusses
securty and economics and stuff.
