Modulo 1: tecniche e dati geospaziali per l'analisi socio-economica e ambientale
Modulo 2: valutazione controfattuale dell'impatto ex post delle politiche pubbliche
Modulo 3: modelli CGE per la valutazione ex-ante dell'impatto delle politiche commerciali
Curriculum
Programma
The course aims at providing students with the quantitative methods for the economic and policy analysis. The course is structured in three modules, each of them covers different concepts and methods with a quantitative applied approach:Module 1: Geospatial information for socio-economic and environmental analysis (20h)
- Geographic Information Systems, Remote Sensing and their applications
- Retrieving and using socio-economic and environmental spatial data
- Defining and applying specific spatial data models
- Modelling spatial phenomena
