The course is articulated in three modules. The first module is devoted to the basic notions of economic policy, market failures (both micro and macro) and the "normative theory" of economic policy (its objectives and tools). The second module is devoted to the analysis of economic policies in an open scenario, models of the interdependence of economic policies, institutions and instruments of international economic policies' coordination. The third module focuses on the global coordination for sustainable development and proposes thematic insights.

This shows sufficient knowledge and understanding of the key topics of the course.

Summa cum laude can be awarded for distinguished students that show qualified achievements during the course as well as the ability to link the various topics of the course in a logical framework. Attending students can take a mid-term written test on a first subset of topics included in the first module. They can decide whether this mid-term evaluation should be included in the overall evaluation.
