Economics

Educational objectives

Objectives:
The Economics course provides students with fundamental analytical and conceptual tools to understand how markets and economic systems operate. The objective is to establish a solid theoretical foundation in microeconomics and macroeconomics, essential for interpreting and critically analyzing economic agents' behavior and economic policies.
The course aims to:
● Deepen the understanding of demand and supply dynamics and price formation mechanisms in markets.
● Analyze consumer and firm behavior, production decisions, and costs.
● Examine macroeconomic functioning, from national accounting to general equilibrium models.
● Study the effects of economic, monetary, and fiscal policies on the economic system.

Educational objectives

The course aims to provide students with a solid understanding of the fundamental principles of business administration, with a focus on the functioning of business systems and the economic, financial, and asset-related processes that characterize them. Students will develop the ability to analyze organizational structures and understand the role of different types of enterprises in the current economic environment.

Educational objectives

The course provides the methodological foundations necessary for understanding subsequent courses of a quantitative nature, such as Financial Mathematics and Statistics, as well as for analyzing and solving problems in Economics. The topics covered in the course concern a selection of analysis and calculation tools useful in the practical applications.

Educational objectives

The course is aimed at exploring the main institutions regulating legal relations between private individuals. Particular attention will be devoted to the concept of the person, real rights, the regulation of obligations and that of contracts, also with a view to understanding the various problematic profiles of legal transactions.
The main objective of the course is to develop the student's critical capacity with regard to the theoretical analysis of the institutions and their practical application.

Educational objectives

The purpose of an organization is embodied in its ability to preserve full operational functionality over time (durability) and to avoid systematic dependence on external support (autonomy). Durability and autonomy represent fundamental conditions and operational constraints that ensure the long-term sustainability of an institution.
Achieving these objectives requires the simultaneous attainment of profitability, financial, and equity equilibrium, thereby adhering to the principle of economic sustainability. Compliance with this principle must be assessed through quantitative determinations, which find their most significant synthesis in the financial statements.
This course aims to develop an in-depth understanding of these principles within organizational contexts, with a specific focus on the structure and function of financial statements. More specifically, the course aims to:
● Provide comprehensive knowledge of the content and valuation criteria of financial statements prepared by corporations, in accordance with Italian regulations.
● Equip students with the analytical tools necessary for interpreting financial statements, through the study of the foundational principles of financial statement analysis.

Educational objectives

The course is aimed mainly at two objectives: on the one hand, to provide the student with the statistical tools considered indispensable in the cultural preparation of a graduate student in economics and useful for the purpose of carrying out the dissertation. On the other hand, the course aims to foster in the student the formation of an ability to model reality, necessary for the quantitative analysis of economic and social phenomena and the consequent preparation of suitable tools for decision-making under conditions of uncertainty. The presentation of topics is supported by real situations and phenomena, enabling the applicability of the concepts and methodologies introduced to be highlighted
The course aims to.
● provide the ability to read, synthesize and interpret data, case by case, according to the most appropriate methodologies
● graphically represent the most appropriate information syntheses
● acquire the ability to provide the most appropriate theoretical model for interpreting the observed data.
