Teaching methods
The approach followed in this course is to introduce students to Economic Policy by presenting them different topics, discussing the theory (during the lectures) and pursuing empirical research through statistical data analysis (during the lectures in the computer laboratory).
Assessment methods
Verification of the degree of learning of the topics covered will be conducted through the oral examination. The first calls (December and January) will be made written checks: three open questions to be chosen on four, for a total of one and a half hours. Each will be evaluated with a maximum score of 10. If only one of the questions is insufficient (evaluation 5) can be supplemented by an oral exam. Three ten correspond to an evaluation of 30 cum Lode.
The praise can be achieved even by those who will acquire scores in the laboratory exercises evaluated: 0, 0.5 or 1. Evaluation that will be added to that of the written.
The assessments obtained in the laboratories will be added to the oral evaluation and the exceeding of 30 automatically implies Lode.
At the end of the course students are expected to hold the following competences:
-
Knowledge of EU economic policies and their relations with Italian and International economic policies;
-
Ability to apply methods and tools presented during the course;
-
Ability to discuss the outcomes of the empirical analysis in the light of recent literature and current political economy strategies.
