Upon completion of the second part students will be able to identify the determinants of various macroeconomic aggregates such as output, unemployment, inflation, productivity and the major challenges associated with the measurement of these aggregates. They will be able to discuss the linkages between financial markets and the real economy, and how these linkages influence the impact of economic policies over differing time horizons.
Moreover, students will be able to describe the main macroeconomic theories of short term fluctuations and long term growth in the economy and they will be able to critically evaluate the consequences of basic macroeconomic policy options under differing economic conditions within a business cycle.

The course aims to provide an overview of sources of law, organization of public powers, the organs of the State, the European Union, Regional and Local Government.

In particular, the course will introduce students to some of the main empirical variations in political behaviour, institutions, and outcomes across the world, focusing mainly on democratic and non democratic regimes, and to some of the basic theoretical ideas in political science.

The course aims to offer a general knowledge of the fundamental lines of the modern history from the fifteenth century to the beginning of the nineteenth and to deepen its critical-interpretative learning through some historiographical itineraries on specific topics and the study of social, economic, political and cultural aspects that connect the Modern Age with the contemporary world.
