Curriculum
teacher profile teaching materials
The approach of the Laboratory is applied and inter-disciplinary. The learning objectives are focused on the development of professional capacities in applied economics, with a planning that alternates lectures, practical classes and seminars with external experts.
Students will acquire skills in the subsequent fields of applied economics:
a) definition and interpretation of the main macroeconomic indicators; analysis of statistical sources and institutional reporting about the Italian and European Union economies;
b) territorial and sectoral analysis;
c) tools and methods for economic policies and planning, and application to public choices.

An integrant part of the course, that constitutes element for final evaluation, is the drafting, by each student, of a research report (a written report or an exercise in applied economics or other types of monograph study chosen with the agreement of professors).
The particular structure of the Laboratory requires the compulsory attendance to seminars and practical classes.
Attendance to all lectures is highly advised. The programme for students that cannot attend lectures has to be agreed on with the teachers.
It will be indicated during the classes and made disposable for students through the website of the course.
