Corso di laurea triennale - Area di Economia - Classe L-16 - Corso Numero di posti programmato a livello locale (D.M. 270/04)
Informazioni generali:
Descrizione e obiettivi formativi:
Il corso di laurea in Global Governance offre una didattica interdisciplinare, pensata per rispondere alle sfide poste dai nuovi fenomeni globali, che richiedono professionisti con competenze trasversali in campo politico, economico e giuridico, conoscenze tecnico-scientifiche e capacità di gestire processi di mediazione culturale e sfide dal connotato etico.
La didattica e tutte le attività si svolgono in lingua inglese, per raggiungere standard di conoscenza internazionali, oltre che per favorire l’inclusione degli studenti provenienti da Paesi stranieri. Ogni anno sono coinvolti docenti visitatori provenienti da Università straniere.
Per offrire un’esperienza dinamica ed arricchente, gli studenti sono inseriti in un progetto impegnativo, che comprende una serie di attività extra-curriculari – convegni, visite istituzionali, iniziative di scambi con Università straniere –, attività formative a scelta e tirocini attraverso cui lo studente potrà approfondire la sua conoscenza della realtà circostante.
La novità dell’approccio didattico non consiste solamente nell’interdisciplinarietà degli insegnamenti e nell’ambiente internazionale in cui si lavora, ma anche nel metodo di studio: il numero ristretto di studenti consente lo svolgimento di esercitazioni, incontri informali tra studenti e docenti, ed un rapporto quotidiano e personale in un ambiente di scambio e interattività, all’interno del quale gli studenti sono chiamati, sin dall’inizio, ad essere parte attiva.
Al termine del percorso formativo, il laureato è in grado di analizzare in modo interdisciplinare i processi di cambiamento che coinvolgono le amministrazioni pubbliche, le istituzioni, le imprese nazionali e sovranazionali dal punto di vista organizzativo, giuridico ed economico-finanziario.
Sbocchi professionali:
Il laureato in Global Governance è in grado di proseguire la propria formazione in ambito universitario nelle lauree magistrali e nei Master di primo livello, sia in Italia che all’estero, in aree quali scienze politiche internazionali e delle pubbliche amministrazioni, diritto internazionale, cooperazione e sviluppo, business, economia, comunicazione e marketing, lettere e filosofia, data sciences. Nei paesi di Common Law, è anche disponibile l’accesso ai corsi specialistici professionalizzanti per le carriere legali.
Il laureato può altresì accedere direttamente al mondo del lavoro: la formazione specifica di cui è provvisto gli consente di impiegare le proprie capacità lavorative in una pluralità di ambiti del settore pubblico e del settore privato, con particolare riferimento a:
• Istituzioni, agenzie ed organizzazioni europee ed internazionali;
• Amministrazioni pubbliche nazionali e locali;
• Organizzazioni sindacali, associazioni di categoria, associazioni politiche ed associazioni del terzo settore attive in ambito nazionale e sovranazionale;
• Consulenza strategica;
• Giornalismo e nuovi media, in ambito nazionale ed internazionale;
• Imprese private operanti a livello nazionale e multinazionale, tanto con riferimento alla consulenza aziendale per l’internazionalizzazione, quanto nelle aree del marketing, della gestione del personale, dei rapporti con l’amministrazione, della statistica;
• Organizzazioni non-profit e non governative.

Course Description One of the things we learned from 20th century is that complex phenomena arising from social and life sciences cannot be deeply analyzed and understood unless we make use of the universal language of mathematics. This goes back to Galileo's intuition that universe be written in mathematical symbols, a principle nowadays applied to human sciences as well as to natural ones. The purpose of this course is to introduce students to those basic notions in mathematics which are essential to describe, understand and analyze possibly different models of quantitative phenomena. Main concepts and tools of differential and integral calculus are taught in order that students become familiar with functions of real variables, notions of growth, limits, rate of change, optimization, time evolution, all of them being necessary to approach mathematical models in applied sciences as well as to pursue further studies in probability and statistics. Students are expected to learn the main concepts, to practice with basic tools of calculus and to understand the use of mathematical language in applied models of real life. Schedule of Topics Topic 1 Real numbers, elementary functions and graphs Topic 2 Sequences and limits Topic 3 Recurrence, discrete time models: exponentials and logarithms, log scales Topic 4 Derivatives: rules and applications, rate of change in applied models Topic 5 Optimization: maxima and minima, convexity, curve sketching Topic 6 Integration: areas, antiderivatives, Fundamental Theorem of Calculus Topic 7 Differential equations and growth models: equilibrium points, stability Topic 8 Multivariable calculus: partial derivatives, optimization, integration

The course of International Relations is divided into three Modules: First module: Foreign Policy: an Introduction (Amb. A. Meloni) - 4 CFU Second module: International Development (Prof. M.Carbone) - 6 CFU Third module: The EU in the World (Prof. F.Bindi) – 2 CFU ------------------------------------------ International Development (Prof. M.Carbone) - 6 CFU This module is based on a combination of lectures and seminars. Each session begins with an introduction by the lecturer designed to present the main concepts of the assigned topics. The second part is devoted to a critical discussion of the readings: students will be split into different groups, discuss some questions and then report back to the class. This module analyses the interaction between industrialised and developing countries in the context of the changing system of international relations. To do so, it will explore the main strategies adopted by the international community to tackle global inequalities, the different types of financial assistance made available for developing countries, the link between foreign aid and other development-related policies (e.g. trade, security and migration), and the impact of international organisations, emerging economies, multinational corporations and civil society in North-South relations. The main aims of this module are to: · discuss different understandings and measurements of development and global inequality; · analyse the main theories in the field of International Relations and Development; · show how the global architecture for development has evolved over the past six decades; · understand why and how traditional and emerging donors give foreign aid; · investigate the role of selected international organisations (e.g. United Nations, World Bank, World Trade Organization) and civil society actors (both in the North and in the South) in the promotion of international development; · explore the impact of selected policies of industrialised and emerging economies (e.g. trade, security and migration) on the economic and social development of developing countries. Topics: Changing dynamics in international politics and development Conceptualising international development and global inequality Contending approaches to North-South relations. International organisations and development: the IMF, theWorld Bank, the WTO and the UN system Bilateral donors and development assistance Aid and beyond The role of BRICS in development and the rise of South-South cooperation Private actors in international politics and development: multinational corporations and civil society society organisations Globalisation, trade and development Migration, security and development

We will consider Dynamic Stochastic general Equilibrium (DSGE) models where consumers, firms, banks and the public sector (monetary and fiscal policy) interact in the same economic environment and produce choices in terms of consumption, investment, output and monetary aggregates. Macro models of monetary policy in a DSGE setting typically involve forward looking behaviour. To develop practical research skills students will solve linear rational expectation models using MATLAB. The website which collects the main software and solution methods is available at http://sites.google.com/site/luisacorrado/pro/computational‐economics Focussing in particular on the method proposed by King and Watson (1998) we will then solve a larger DSGE model with a banking sector producing the full constellation of financial and monetary spreads as proposed by Goodfriend and McCallum (2007).
