Another agent of interest in modern economies, especially for European countries, is public administration and its related digitalization processes, to understand how this element could impact public sector hiring flows and growth dynamics.
Programme
The course introduces the fundamentals of the economics of digitalization and, more generally, technological change, both in terms of underlying theoretical theories and related empirical evidence. It will therefore explore the impact of technological change and digitalization on the two most important economic agents in modern economies: firms and workers. For firms, it will explore the impact of technology and innovation on business dynamics, productivity, and innovation. For workers, it will analyze how digitalization could change the levels and composition of labor demand, to understand the types of jobs that are likely to be the jobs of the future, also with reference to the introduction of artificial intelligence and robotics, and the use of digital intermediation platforms.Another agent of interest in modern economies, especially for European countries, is public administration and its related digitalization processes, to understand how this element could impact public sector hiring flows and growth dynamics.
