Catalogo dei Corsi di studio

The course aims at the acquisition of methods for the analysis of international economic relationships. It is divided in two parts: the first part deals with the fundamental issues of international trade theory and policy, with a view to understanding the general principles that govern international trade. Coverage of international trade features an integrated treatment and empirical evidence of the latest models of trade, such as the gravity, Ricardian, factor endowments, and imperfect competition models; a thorough discussion of the causes and effects of trade policy that focuses on the income-distribution effects of trade.
The second part of the course deals with issues of international macroeconomic theory and policy and aims at providing tools for understanding the architecture of the international monetary system, its adjustment mechanisms and its vulnerabilities.
Coverage of international finance includes a unified model of open-economy
macroeconomics that provides a cohesive approach to the theory, based on an
asset-market approach to exchange rate determination with a central role for
expectations; a comprehensive analysis and discussion of the international monetary experience that stresses the idea that different exchange rate systems lead to different policy coordination problems; a thorough discussion of the European Monetary Union.

Students that succeed in the final examination will have acquired the general principles and the logical categories in order to be capable of understanding the concrete phenomena related to international trade in goods and services and the associated relevant trade policies. They will have acquaintance with the analytical methods for the comprehension of the architecture of the international monetary system, its mechanism and vulnerabilities, and will be able to understand the related macroeconomic and macroprudential policies.

To give students essential theoretical competencies and skills in the innovation management and in organizational change and development. Students who passed the exam will know the main strategic and organizational issues related to management innovation; they will be able to formulate diagnostic readings of case studies and they will improve their problem setting and problem solving capacities.

To make students acquainted with the basic principles of statistical inference, to develop skills at performing applied analyses using statistical models, especially dependence and interdependence models. Special emphasis will be placed on practical applications using whenever possible the statistical software R (www.r-project.org).

The main providers of statistical information will be illustrated, explaining at the same time the major differences between classical inference for infinite populations, typical of controlled experiments or observational studies, and design based inference for finite populations, which is the most common approach in official statistics.

The course aims to provide students with theoretical and practical tools needed to understand the insolvency law system. More precisely, the course seeks to define and analyze the ratio of the collective proceedings, using the “law & economics” perspective. A traditional approach will be used to explain the different types of collective proceedings provided for italian insolvency law. Comparative analysis will be used too.At the end of the course, the student should be able to understand, handle and master the different types of collective proceedings.
