21201440-1 - DIRITTO PUBBLICO DELL'ECONOMIA ED ELEMENTI DI AMMINISTRAZIONE AZIENDALE PUBBLICA - PIERGIGLI VALERIA (syllabus) The Course is focused on the evolution of the public intervention in the economy as well as on the organizational models in the Italian and comparative law. More specifically, the common thread will be the organizational model of the so-called "Autorità amministrative indipendenti" (rationale of their institution, organization, powers) and, in particular, of the Authority - variously named - responsible for guaranteeing the free market competition in the main contemporary legal systems and within the framework of the European Union. Even in the absence of a unitary model, the comparative study of that topic, facilitated by the so-called economic globalization and technological development, will be able to highlight similar issues in the world experience of the independent agencies.

21201713 - Foundations of Political Economy (objectives) The course aims to go to the foundations of the theories of value and distribution in order to provide students who already have a first knowledge of micro and macroeconomics with the means to orient themselves, on the one hand, in the comparison between the main theories of value and distribution (or 'micro' theory) and, on the other hand, in the understanding of the implications that these theories have with regard to the determination of the general level of production (or 'macro' theory). The course is divided into two parts. The first part is devoted to a comparison between the classical theory and the neoclassical (marginalist) theory of value and distribution. Particular attention is given to the reconstruction of the structure of the latter theory, presented in the general equilibrium version of Wicksell and Walras, and to the difficulties that this theory faces in treating capital as a productive factor. The second part is devoted to the determination of the general level of production in the two theoretical approaches. Particular attention is given to the reconstruction of the Keynesian Revolution, through a direct reading of some parts of Keynes’ General Theory, and the discussion of the elements that have favoured its reabsorption in the Neoclassical Synthesis.

21201274 - HISTORY OF ECONOMIC THEORY (objectives) The course aims to present the main theories of value and distribution in their historical development. This should be understood in two senses. On the one hand, the course focuses on the reconstruction of the strictly analytical problems that have gradually arisen within the Classical and the Neoclassical (marginalist) theories of value and distribution in their traditional formulations. In this way students are offered the tools to look with greater awareness at the form in which those approaches present themselves today. On the other hand, the authors who will be considered in the course will be placed in their respective historical context, with a view to highlighting the nature of social science proper to political economy. In this regard, particular attention will be given to the drastic change of approach that took place in economic theory in the period immediately following Ricardo, and for which it seems difficult to find an explanation on exclusively analytical grounds.

21201503 - INTERNATIONAL ECONOMICS (objectives) The aim of the course is to present the main themes of international monetary macroeconomics. The course starts by laying out the way in which international relations are recorded in national accounts and balance of payments. In this way the course provides a framework for understanding the consequences for a country of running large current account surpluses or deficits. The course then focuses on different theories of the determination of the exchange rates. It also discusses the effects on the real economy and on the price levels of the commercial and financial relations of a country with the rest of the world. The institutional set-up of the euro area will be presented in relation to the theories considered, emphasizing Its peculiarities with respect to the theoretical debates about the alternative between fixed and flexible exchange rates and about the question of the optimal currency areas. All the topics will be analyzed trying to highlight the differences underlying the main theoretical models. The main official documents and economic reports published by national and international institutions on our country's international relations will also be analyzed. The material covered is not mathematically complex, but it is taught in a formal and rigorous manner, which assumes a good familiarity with basic economic concepts. - Derived from 21201503 ECONOMIA INTERNAZIONALE in Economia L-33 TREZZINI ATTILIO (syllabus) Introduction - International economics: the distinction between international trade theory and policy and the international monetary economy.

21201713-1 - FONDAMENTI DI ECONOMIA POLITICA (objectives) The course aims to go to the foundations of the theories of value and distribution in order to provide students who already have a first knowledge of micro and macroeconomics with the means to orient themselves, on the one hand, in the comparison between the main theories of value and distribution (or 'micro' theory) and, on the other hand, in the understanding of the implications that these theories have with regard to the determination of the general level of production (or 'macro' theory).The course is divided into two parts. The first part is devoted to a comparison between the classical theory and the neoclassical (marginalist) theory of value and distribution. Particular attention is given to the reconstruction of the structure of the latter theory, presented in the general equilibrium version of Wicksell and Walras, and to the difficulties that this theory faces in treating capital as a productive factor. The second part is devoted to the determination of the general level of production in the two theoretical approaches. Particular attention is given to the reconstruction of the Keynesian Revolution, through a direct reading of some parts of Keynes’ General Theory, and the discussion of the elements that have favoured its reabsorption in the Neoclassical Synthesis. - Derived from 21201713-2 FONDAMENTI DI ECONOMIA POLITICA in Economia L-33 TRABUCCHI PAOLO (syllabus) INTRODUCTION1.

21201274 - HISTORY OF ECONOMIC THEORY (objectives) The course aims to present the main theories of value and distribution in their historical development. This should be understood in two senses. On the one hand, the course focuses on the reconstruction of the strictly analytical problems that have gradually arisen within the Classical and the Neoclassical (marginalist) theories of value and distribution in their traditional formulations. In this way students are offered the tools to look with greater awareness at the form in which those approaches present themselves today. On the other hand, the authors who will be considered in the course will be placed in their respective historical context, with a view to highlighting the nature of social science proper to political economy. In this regard, particular attention will be given to the drastic change of approach that took place in economic theory in the period immediately following Ricardo, and for which it seems difficult to find an explanation on exclusively analytical grounds.

21201442 - BUSINESS II (ECONOMICS AND BUSINESS MANAGEMENT - ADVANCED COURSE) (objectives) The Business II Course (EGI CA) deals with the international business of companies operating in today's globalized contexts. After a brief introduction on macroeconomic dynamics that impact on international markets, the course focuses on the analysis of the companies, especially those of larger size, and their decision to go international in order to maximize their value. Today more than ever, companies are more likely to relocate the value chain activities in different parts of the world, this means a greater ability to seize new opportunities for value creation, but also greater attention to governance and management of intercultural barriers. Therefore, after having explained the reasons behind the internationalization process, the Course aims to: illustrate the issues that arise at the various stages of international development; to identify the key variables that influence it; and to identify the various methods and instruments through which the process of internationalization unfolds. Students at the end of the course will be able to: 1) To know and interpret the logic and actions of the actors involved in the international context; 2) To know and discuss the basic elements concerning the international development process; 3) To know and apply the basic tools for the analysis of the attractiveness of the Country to support managerial decisions; 4) To Analyze the competitive situation of the sector and select solutions for the approach to international markets in terms of strategies, methods and penetration of the target markets. - Derived from 21210118 ECONOMIA E GESTIONE DELLE IMPRESE - CORSO AVANZATO in Economia e Management LM-77 FAGGIONI FRANCESCA, PRINCIPATO LUDOVICA (syllabus) 1.

In this way students are offered the tools to look with greater awareness at the form in which those approaches present themselves today. On the other hand, the authors who will be considered in the course will be placed in their respective historical context, with a view to highlighting the nature of social science proper to political economy.

21201274-2 - STORIA DEL PENSIERO ECONOMICO (objectives) The course aims to present the main theories of value and distribution in their historical development. This should be understood in two senses. On the one hand, the course focuses on the reconstruction of the strictly analytical problems that have gradually arisen within the Classical and the Neoclassical (marginalist) theories of value and distribution in their traditional formulations. In this way students are offered the tools to look with greater awareness at the form in which those approaches present themselves today.

21201503 - INTERNATIONAL ECONOMICS (objectives) The aim of the course is to present the main themes of international monetary macroeconomics. The course starts by laying out the way in which international relations are recorded in national accounts and balance of payments. In this way the course provides a framework for understanding the consequences for a country of running large current account surpluses or deficits. The course then focuses on different theories of the determination of the exchange rates. It also discusses the effects on the real economy and on the price levels of the commercial and financial relations of a country with the rest of the world. The institutional set-up of the euro area will be presented in relation to the theories considered, emphasizing Its peculiarities with respect to the theoretical debates about the alternative between fixed and flexible exchange rates and about the question of the optimal currency areas. All the topics will be analyzed trying to highlight the differences underlying the main theoretical models. The main official documents and economic reports published by national and international institutions on our country's international relations will also be analyzed. The material covered is not mathematically complex, but it is taught in a formal and rigorous manner, which assumes a good familiarity with basic economic concepts. - Derived from 21201503 ECONOMIA INTERNAZIONALE in Economia L-33 TREZZINI ATTILIO (syllabus) Introduction - International economics: the distinction between international trade theory and policy and the international monetary economy.

21201713 - Foundations of Political Economy (objectives) The course aims to go to the foundations of the theories of value and distribution in order to provide students who already have a first knowledge of micro and macroeconomics with the means to orient themselves, on the one hand, in the comparison between the main theories of value and distribution (or 'micro' theory) and, on the other hand, in the understanding of the implications that these theories have with regard to the determination of the general level of production (or 'macro' theory). The course is divided into two parts. The first part is devoted to a comparison between the classical theory and the neoclassical (marginalist) theory of value and distribution. Particular attention is given to the reconstruction of the structure of the latter theory, presented in the general equilibrium version of Wicksell and Walras, and to the difficulties that this theory faces in treating capital as a productive factor. The second part is devoted to the determination of the general level of production in the two theoretical approaches. Particular attention is given to the reconstruction of the Keynesian Revolution, through a direct reading of some parts of Keynes’ General Theory, and the discussion of the elements that have favoured its reabsorption in the Neoclassical Synthesis.

21201457 - INDUSTRIAL ECONOMICS - ADVANCED COURSE (objectives) The aim of the course is twofold. The analytical models of the main problems of industrial economics, with a particular focus on the strategic interaction between firms, are the core of the first module of the course. The second module aims to provide students with the notions for a thorough analysis of the Italian productive system, taking into consideration issues related to firms’ organization and performance together with a close look at the specific industries’ main competitiveness indicators - Derived from 21210082 ECONOMIA INDUSTRIALE - CORSO AVANZATO in Economia Aziendale LM-77 (docente da definire)	9	SECS-P/01	60	-	-	-	Core compulsory activities	ITA
21201503 - INTERNATIONAL ECONOMICS (objectives) The aim of the course is to present the main themes of international monetary macroeconomics. The course starts by laying out the way in which international relations are recorded in national accounts and balance of payments. In this way the course provides a framework for understanding the consequences for a country of running large current account surpluses or deficits. The course then focuses on different theories of the determination of the exchange rates. It also discusses the effects on the real economy and on the price levels of the commercial and financial relations of a country with the rest of the world. The institutional set-up of the euro area will be presented in relation to the theories considered, emphasizing Its peculiarities with respect to the theoretical debates about the alternative between fixed and flexible exchange rates and about the question of the optimal currency areas. All the topics will be analyzed trying to highlight the differences underlying the main theoretical models. The main official documents and economic reports published by national and international institutions on our country's international relations will also be analyzed. The material covered is not mathematically complex, but it is taught in a formal and rigorous manner, which assumes a good familiarity with basic economic concepts. - Derived from 21201503 ECONOMIA INTERNAZIONALE in Economia L-33 TREZZINI ATTILIO (syllabus) Introduction - International economics: the distinction between international trade theory and policy and the international monetary economy.

21201442 - BUSINESS II (ECONOMICS AND BUSINESS MANAGEMENT - ADVANCED COURSE) (objectives) The Business II Course (EGI CA) deals with the international business of companies operating in today's globalized contexts. After a brief introduction on macroeconomic dynamics that impact on international markets, the course focuses on the analysis of the companies, especially those of larger size, and their decision to go international in order to maximize their value. Today more than ever, companies are more likely to relocate the value chain activities in different parts of the world, this means a greater ability to seize new opportunities for value creation, but also greater attention to governance and management of intercultural barriers. Therefore, after having explained the reasons behind the internationalization process, the Course aims to: illustrate the issues that arise at the various stages of international development; to identify the key variables that influence it; and to identify the various methods and instruments through which the process of internationalization unfolds. Students at the end of the course will be able to: 1) To know and interpret the logic and actions of the actors involved in the international context; 2) To know and discuss the basic elements concerning the international development process; 3) To know and apply the basic tools for the analysis of the attractiveness of the Country to support managerial decisions; 4) To Analyze the competitive situation of the sector and select solutions for the approach to international markets in terms of strategies, methods and penetration of the target markets. - Derived from 21210118 ECONOMIA E GESTIONE DELLE IMPRESE - CORSO AVANZATO in Economia e Management LM-77 FAGGIONI FRANCESCA, PRINCIPATO LUDOVICA (syllabus) 1.

21201274 - HISTORY OF ECONOMIC THEORY (objectives) The course aims to present the main theories of value and distribution in their historical development. This should be understood in two senses. On the one hand, the course focuses on the reconstruction of the strictly analytical problems that have gradually arisen within the Classical and the Neoclassical (marginalist) theories of value and distribution in their traditional formulations. In this way students are offered the tools to look with greater awareness at the form in which those approaches present themselves today. On the other hand, the authors who will be considered in the course will be placed in their respective historical context, with a view to highlighting the nature of social science proper to political economy. In this regard, particular attention will be given to the drastic change of approach that took place in economic theory in the period immediately following Ricardo, and for which it seems difficult to find an explanation on exclusively analytical grounds.

21201503 - INTERNATIONAL ECONOMICS (objectives) The aim of the course is to present the main themes of international monetary macroeconomics. The course starts by laying out the way in which international relations are recorded in national accounts and balance of payments. In this way the course provides a framework for understanding the consequences for a country of running large current account surpluses or deficits. The course then focuses on different theories of the determination of the exchange rates. It also discusses the effects on the real economy and on the price levels of the commercial and financial relations of a country with the rest of the world. The institutional set-up of the euro area will be presented in relation to the theories considered, emphasizing Its peculiarities with respect to the theoretical debates about the alternative between fixed and flexible exchange rates and about the question of the optimal currency areas. All the topics will be analyzed trying to highlight the differences underlying the main theoretical models. The main official documents and economic reports published by national and international institutions on our country's international relations will also be analyzed. The material covered is not mathematically complex, but it is taught in a formal and rigorous manner, which assumes a good familiarity with basic economic concepts. - Derived from 21201503 ECONOMIA INTERNAZIONALE in Economia L-33 TREZZINI ATTILIO (syllabus) Introduction - International economics: the distinction between international trade theory and policy and the international monetary economy.

21201463-1 - STORIA D'IMPRESA - Derived from 21201463-1 STORIA D'IMPRESA in Economia e gestione aziendale L-18 N0 STEMPERINI GIUSEPPE (syllabus) Large, highly integrated companies are generally seen as the economic institutions that best represent the capitalist system: for this reason the main focus of the course will be to analyse the structure of these companies in different time periods. It is, nonetheless, worth remembering that the numerous economic structures and competitive conditions that have arisen over time in the West have led to the appearance of a variety of different types of enterprises. With this in mind, the first part of the course will look at various general themes within economic history, from the first industrial revolution to the end of the last century, in order to provide a general frame of reference within which to place the evolutionary process of modern industrial companies. Later, we will analyse the Italian case, a country that has been seen as representing the different ways of understanding and doing business within the context of economic development in the 20th century. This will allow us to reflect upon the current theories regarding Italy’s ‘decline’, and upon the country’s future prospects. The second part of the course will include a detailed investigation of 20th century companies, with the aim of tracing a comparative profile of the forms of economic development that characterised Western capitalism in different time periods. An in-depth analysis will be dedicated to the origins and the evolution of the “fourth capitalism”. The course, divided into two modules, covers the following topics: First module: - Modern economic development and the paradigm of the ‘industrial revolutions’; - Business structures; - Industrial concentration and corporate groups in 20th century Italy; - The role of big business and small and medium enterprises in the Italian economy; - Corporate finance; - Industrial policy. Second module: - Business and the evolution of the socio-cultural environment: contexts and institutions; - The evolution in scale and structure of businesses: family companies, managerial companies and company groups; - Business management and governance: organisation, work and advances in techniques; - Rise and fall of state-owned enterprise; - The fourth capitalism: scale and distribution, physiognomy, internationalisation, organisational structures.

21201274 - HISTORY OF ECONOMIC THEORY (objectives) The course aims to present the main theories of value and distribution in their historical development. This should be understood in two senses. On the one hand, the course focuses on the reconstruction of the strictly analytical problems that have gradually arisen within the Classical and the Neoclassical (marginalist) theories of value and distribution in their traditional formulations. In this way students are offered the tools to look with greater awareness at the form in which those approaches present themselves today. On the other hand, the authors who will be considered in the course will be placed in their respective historical context, with a view to highlighting the nature of social science proper to political economy. In this regard, particular attention will be given to the drastic change of approach that took place in economic theory in the period immediately following Ricardo, and for which it seems difficult to find an explanation on exclusively analytical grounds.

21201440 - PUBLIC ECONOMIC LAW AND ELEMENTS OF PUBLIC BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION (objectives) The purposes of this Course are mainly two. Firstly, the Course aims to illustrate the “business dimension” of public administrations, respecting the interdisciplinary connections, so as to introduce the learner to the Economy of companies and public administrations, understood as autonomous and organic discipline of the business economy. Secondly, the Course aims to offer the students the knowledge of the forms of public intervention in the economy in their historical development and according to a legal approach, with particular attention to the role of the so-called Administrative Independent Agencies in Italian and comparative law.

More specifically, the common thread will be the organizational model of the so-called "Autorità amministrative indipendenti" (rationale of their institution, organization, powers) and, in particular, of the Authority - variously named - responsible for guaranteeing the free market competition in the main contemporary legal systems and within the framework of the European Union. Even in the absence of a unitary model, the comparative study of that topic, facilitated by the so-called economic globalization and technological development, will be able to highlight similar issues in the world experience of the independent agencies.

21201730 - Computational Finance (objectives) The course objective is to educate students about the MATLAB language and development environment, for programming, numerical calculation and visualization applied to financial problems. The rule of Computational Finance is becoming increasingly important in the financial industry, both for the modeling and analysis phase, as well as for the decision-making phase. Many models used in practice are formulated via complex mathematical problems, for which an exact or a closed-form solution could not be obtained. Consequently, computational techniques and specific numerical algorithms are required to solve such cases. Over the duration of the Course, we attempt to integrate the understanding of theoretical with their practical use. The application of quantitative financial models will be used to simplify the comprehension of some mathematical and statistical concepts and to learn the main computational techniques, which are useful to deal with a wide range of financial problems, such as portfolio optimization, risk management and derivatives pricing. Therefore, this course is not only suitable for university students, but also for professionals who want to deepen their knowledge and understanding of the quantitative financial models explored in this course.	9	SECS-S/06	60	-	-	-	Core compulsory activities	ITA

21201503 - INTERNATIONAL ECONOMICS (objectives) The aim of the course is to present the main themes of international monetary macroeconomics. The course starts by laying out the way in which international relations are recorded in national accounts and balance of payments. In this way the course provides a framework for understanding the consequences for a country of running large current account surpluses or deficits. The course then focuses on different theories of the determination of the exchange rates. It also discusses the effects on the real economy and on the price levels of the commercial and financial relations of a country with the rest of the world. The institutional set-up of the euro area will be presented in relation to the theories considered, emphasizing Its peculiarities with respect to the theoretical debates about the alternative between fixed and flexible exchange rates and about the question of the optimal currency areas. All the topics will be analyzed trying to highlight the differences underlying the main theoretical models. The main official documents and economic reports published by national and international institutions on our country's international relations will also be analyzed. The material covered is not mathematically complex, but it is taught in a formal and rigorous manner, which assumes a good familiarity with basic economic concepts. - Derived from 21201503 ECONOMIA INTERNAZIONALE in Economia L-33 TREZZINI ATTILIO (syllabus) Introduction - International economics: the distinction between international trade theory and policy and the international monetary economy.

21201468-1 - STORIA DELLA FINANZA - Derived from 21201468-1 STORIA DELLA FINANZA in Finanza e impresa LM-16 D'ERRICO RITA MARIA MICHELA (syllabus) The themes that will be studied during the course will be based around the following thematic nuclei: the establishment and the development of central banks; the development of public finance and the rise of the stock exchange markets; the role of the banks in the process of industrialisation. In this context, the cases of England, Germany, France, United Staes, Italy will be examined in a comparative approach. A special focus will be on the understanding of the Italian case study and to the evolution of the relationship between banks and industry from the period of Italian Unification. In this context, particular attention is devoted to the events leading to the emergence of the Bank of Italy as a unique central bank institution. Another central theme is the advent and the transformation of the role of the universal banks from the end of the nineteenth century until the birth of the “entrepreneurial State”, as a result of the foundation of the Istituto per la Ricostruzione Industriale (IRI); the emergence of public companies and the more recent series of privatisations in 1990s. Another central topic of the course is the evolution of the international monetary system between the 19th and 20th centuries. The issues dealt within this context are: the gold standard (1870 – 1914) the gold excgange standard and the decentralization and financial instability in the interwars years; the Crisis of the ‘29 and the Great depression of the 1930’s; the Bretton Woods system (1944-1971); the period of floating exchange rates, following the end of the Bretton Woods system; the growth of theinflation and the growth in public spending; the birth of the European Monetary System, and the origin of the Economic and Monetary Union.

A special focus will be on the understanding of the Italian case study and to the evolution of the relationship between banks and industry from the period of Italian Unification. In this context, particular attention is devoted to the events leading to the emergence of the Bank of Italy as a unique central bank institution. Another central theme is the advent and the transformation of the role of the universal banks from the end of the nineteenth century until the birth of the “entrepreneurial State”, as a result of the foundation of the Istituto per la Ricostruzione Industriale (IRI); the emergence of public companies and the more recent series of privatisations in 1990s. Another central topic of the course is the evolution of the international monetary system between the 19th and 20th centuries. The issues dealt within this context are: the gold standard (1870 – 1914) the gold excgange standard and the decentralization and financial instability in the interwars years; the Crisis of the ‘29 and the Great depression of the 1930’s; the Bretton Woods system (1944-1971); the period of floating exchange rates, following the end of the Bretton Woods system; the growth of theinflation and the growth in public spending; the birth of the European Monetary System, and the origin of the Economic and Monetary Union.
