MODULO 1 (5 CFU)

KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
THIS COURSE IS EXPECTED TO PROVIDE THE BASIC KNOWLEDGE FOR THE COMPREHENSION OF BOTH MOTIVATIONS AND FORMS OF PUBLIC INTERVENTION IN THE ECONOMIC SYSTEM WITH PARTICULAR EMPHASIS ON THE TRADE-OFF BETWEEN EFFICIENCY AND EQUITY PERSPECTIVES. STUDENTS ARE ADDITIONALLY EXPECTED TO LEARN MAIN CRITERIA CHARACTERIZING THE DEFINITION OF BOTH PUBLIC EXPENDITURE PROGRAMMES AND TAX REVENUE IN ADVANCED ECONOMIES.

APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO DESIGN AND ASSESS ECONOMIC POLICIES COMPATIBLY WITH THE TRADE-OFF BETWEEN EFFICIENCY AND EQUITY, AND TO IDENTIFY THE MACRO-ECONOMIC EFFECTS OF FISCAL POLICIES IN THE SHORT AND LONG-RUN.

MAKING JUDGMENTS
STUDENTS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP CRITICAL SKILLS FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF ECONOMIC POLICIES IN TERMS OF EFFICIENCY AND EQUITY (SOCIAL WELFARE ANALYSIS).

COMMUNICATIONS SKILLS
THE HETEROGENEITY OF LEARNING ASSESSMENT PROCEDURES IMPLEMENTED AT THE END OF THIS COURSE IS EXPECTED TO IMPROVE BOTH ORAL AND WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS ABILITIES OF STUDENTS. MOSTLY, STUDENTES ARE EXPECTED TO STRONGLY IMPROVE SYNTHESIS ABILITIES IN WRITTEN MANUSCRIPTS AND THE HANDLING OF MULTIPLE CHOICE TESTS.

LEARNING SKILLS
THIS COURSE INTENDS TO DEVELOP THE LOGICAL SKILLS AND PSICOLOGICAL MOTIVATIONS OF STUDENTS BY THE CONTINUOUS PARALLELISM BETWEEN THEORETICAL ISSUES ANALYZED DURING THE LESSONS AND THE ECONOMIC POLICIES IMPLEMENTED BY THE "SOCIAL DECISION-MAKER" WITH RESPECT TO THE ORGANIZATION OF THE PUBLIC EXPENDITURE AND TAX REVENUE.

POLICY MAKERS AND LOCAL OPERATORS WILL BE INVOLVED TO BRING TO BEAR THEIR OWN EXPERIENCE AND EXPERTISE TO SCIENTIFIC ANALYSIS.

PARTICIPANTS WILL DEVELOP SKILLS FOR PLANNING AND EVALUATION THROUGH DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF METHODOLOGICAL TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES AS WELL AS THE UNDERSTANDING OF CRUCIAL ISSUES IN DEVELOPMENT.
