Informazioni generali
Descrizione e obiettivi formativi
Il Corso è disegnato per incontrare le domande degli studenti interessati ad un percorso formativo focalizzato sugli studi europei. Il suo approccio interdisciplinare fornisce una visione più ampia ed aperta su tematiche economiche e giuridiche di respiro internazionale.
Esso intende formare laureati in grado di operare con vaste competenze nell'ambito della gestione e del funzionamento delle istituzioni europee, avendo cura di fornire elementi specialistici economici, giuridici, aziendali, politici e storici. Fornisce gli strumenti e i modelli interpretativi fondamentali per la conoscenza dei sistemi istituzionali e dei relativi interlocutori di riferimento (aziende, Pubbliche Amministrazioni, istituzioni nazionali e internazionali) ai fini di una più matura comprensione dei processi decisionali politici e normativi messi in atto.
Il Corso si rivolge a studenti in possesso di una laurea triennale in economia, giurisprudenza, scienze politiche o scienze umane. Al fine di approfondire le competenze in ambito quantitativo, il programma prevede due settimane di pre-corsi obbligatori per gli studenti con un background diverso da quello economico. Tali pre-corsi riguarderanno le seguenti discipline: matematica, statistica, micro- e macro-economia.
Al fine di sviluppare competenze mirate al problem solving, sempre più importante per aspirare a funzioni “creative” a più alto valore aggiunto nella società globale, gli studenti sono coinvolti in un’ampia varietà di compiti tra cui lavori di gruppo e tirocini.
In particolare il corso gode di accordi esclusivi con importanti istituzioni ed aziende a livello internazionale per lo svolgimento di tirocini curriculari. Tra le convenzioni attive si segnalano: Ministero dell'Economia e delle Finanze, North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), Organization for Security and Co-Operation in Europe (OSCE), Ambasciata di Gran Bretagna, Ambasciata di Danimarca, GUCCI, IKEA, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Findus.
Altro aspetto privilegiato è quello della relazione e dell’attenzione allo studente. Oltre il dialogo con i docenti nei periodici incontri di verifica e la disponibilità dei tutor accademici, il programma offre una serie di servizi dedicati: borse di studio, residenze convenzionate, tessera dello studente con agevolazioni nel settore della ristorazione e dei trasporti, tessera per fotocopie, corsi di lingua italiana e assistenza sanitaria agli studenti stranieri, servizio di accoglienza e di orientamento.
Sbocchi professionali
Il programma si rivolge ai candidati che desiderano intraprendere una carriera lavorativa a livello internazionale nell'ambito dell'organizzazione e della gestione di organismi internazionali pubblici e privati o imprese coinvolte in scambi commerciali.
Il profilo professionale del laureato soddisfa la domanda di expertise proveniente da:
- Istituzioni Europee ed internazionali
- Aziende e multinazionali
- Amministrazioni Pubbliche nazionali
- Istituti di ricerca e Università
Le statistiche degli ultimi anni rivelano che circa il 96% dei laureati trova impiego entro i primi tre mesi dalla laurea. Tra i ruoli più prestigiosi ricoperti figurano funzioni di quadro e dirigenza in qualità di specialisti dei sistemi economici ed esperti legali presso istituzioni ed aziende nazionali o sopranazionali: Poste Italiane, Telecom, Unicredit, Deloitte, Ernst & Young, Ryanair.
Il corso consente anche la prosecuzione della carriera accademica in programmi post-laurea (Master di secondo livello e Dottorato).

TOPICS IN APPLIED ECONOMICS 1) The research on subjective wellbeing: life satisfaction/happiness indicators, methodological issues, empirical findings and policy implication This part of the course deals with applied research on subjective wellbeing. The research developed from the well-known observation of the decoupling between GDP growth and the share of very happy people (Easterlin paradox). We will explain how life satisfaction is measured using cognitive, affective and eudaimonic indicators up to the novel generativity measures. We well deal with methodological issues and empirical research with special focus to the: gender happiness paradox, happiness and health, happiness and education, happiness and relative income). We will conclude on insights and policy implications for the definition of wellbeing indicators 2) Empirical research on corporate social responsibility The old idea of benevolent planners solving market failures (differences between private and social optimum) has given way to a new more articulated welfare paradigm that takes into account the weakness, conflicts of interest and capture of domestic institution in the global economic system. Corporate social and environmental responsibility thereby emerged as a four-handed approach whether the role of the invisible hand of market mechanisms and the visible hand of institutions is complemented by the third hand of corporate responsibility and the fourth hand of active citizenship that votes with the wallet. In this part of the course we examine some methodological aspects, empirical findings and policy implications of research on corporate social responsibility

understand why countries, regions and individuals lags behind others in terms of material well-being and to design effective policies to close such gaps, is the objective of development economics. Development economics is a very broad subject, ranging to design incentive compatible emergency interventions to save lives in flood affected areas, to changing the structure of agricultural production, to reform education systems, to design effective trade policies. Practically every area in economics has a counterpart in development economics. A 6 credit course cannot cover all the areas, and the course therefore will focus on the microeconomics aspect of the discipline: studying the factors and constraints influencing individual-level, household-level, or farm-level decision-making in developing countries. In particular the course will focus on human capital accumulation, labor market and migration, and physical capital accumulation. The area of focus will reflect, as far as possible, the actual research interest of the lecturer of DEF, so to promote participation in research projects and field activities. The course will also provide the basics of Impact Evaluation techniques, if not previously covered. This course is designed for students with graduate level training in microeconomics and econometrics and an interest in international development.

The course is structured into two main parts: - In part I, after a brief description of the relevance of the public sector and of the main economic and managerial theories about its role in today’s economy and society, attention will be devoted to analyzing how the ‘hard’ tools of management are applied to the public sector: strategic planning, performance management, digital innovation. Moreover, the main similarities and differences with the management of private companies will be presented, as well as the several types of business-government interactions. - In part II, the program starts with an overview of the main international institutions and of the role of the aid system, with a specific focus on international development cooperation, non-governmental organizations and global foundations. Then, attention will be devoted to funding mechanisms, in particular fundraising and social finance tools and techniques. Finally, the course addresses the key challenge of managing global commons in a socially innovative perspective.
