Program

The making of public policies is one of the basic functions of each political system, it affects the arrangement of solutions by policy makers to the problems that arise in society. The analysis of public policies is a specific perspective of study in political science that the course intends to introduce. The particular objective is to provide the conceptual tools for understanding and analysing the policy process.

The lessons will be split in two parts: general introduction and empirical application.

The first part will introduce the basic concepts of the discipline, it will give an overview of the definitions of "public policy" and will outline the various approaches to the study of public policies. Then, will be presented the main typologies of policies, the actors involved in their production, and the different stages that give rise to the policy making process: agenda setting, formulation, decision, implementation, evaluation. Lastly, will be discussed the national styles of policy making and the influence of international factors on them.

The second part, given the relevance of the automotive industry in Italy, will be devoted to the analysis of government policies relating to the automotive industry. Particular attention will be paid to the interaction between public and private actors in the definition of policies on the automotive industry and it will be shown (even by comparison with the experience of other major Western countries) as the incidence of domestic and international factors contributed the evolution of the Italian policy style in the automotive industry.

Teaching methods

Frontal lessons will be supported by seminars on specific empirical topics, taught by experts of the issue addressed by the seminar. The schedule will be announced in class.

Assessment methods

Students attending at least 80% of the course will take a written examination, based on the two texts indicated in the list below.

Students not attending the course will take an oral exam based on the two texts indicated in the list below.

In the first part of the seminar we’ll discuss basic elements of economic analysis of public law, known as public choice theory. In our first meeting we’ll identify two distinct public choice theories—“a public interest” approach (aka Madisonianism or “republicanism”) vs. “public of interests” view (aka “pluralism”). Under the former, decision-makers should base their decisions on “public reason” (in the Rawlsian sense) rather than on self-interest. The aim of public law is to ensure that decision-making is based on impartial considerations. In contrast, the competing theory reflects a welfarist approach, under which the desired social decisions are those that maximize some social welfare function. In general, it endorses a decentralized approach, in which the social decision is achieved by aggregating the relevant persons’ interests and preferences. Accordingly, the aim of public law under this view is to ensure that decisions accurately aggregate the various interests of those affected. We will discuss the central normative and behavioral aspects of each of these theories. In subsequent meetings we will explore some of their implementations in public choice theory and in public law doctrines, regarding four central types of decision-makers: the public, representatives, the Executive Branch and the judiciary.

The course offers an interpretative-methodological framework to the transport-territory economic relationship, based on the assumption that the transport system is a pre-requisite for the development of industrial and tourist activities. With this in mind, the course deals with the problems that arise in the study of the four main modes of transport, with the further objective of outlining the theoretical state of the art of this research field.

In more detail, the following topics are discussed: 1) Transport historical and geographical dimension - (Economy and transport in the twentieth century; The global development of transport; Congestion: consequence of the imbalance between modes); 2) Transport regulations - (Community legislation, Italian legislation, transport infrastructure as a natural monopoly, regulation of the infrastructure market as an agency problem, the natural monopoly structure, deliberative democracy and transport regulation); 3) Costs of transport systems - (opportunity costs, shadow prices, sunk costs, external costs, classification of transport costs, trends in transport costs, joint costs and associated costs in the provision of transport services; General cost of transport, costs of transport safety); 4) The analysis of the infrastructural supply - (Economic nature of the transport infrastructures; Infrastructural equipment: concept and purpose; The transport networks; Network economics; Infrastructure capacity analysis); 5) The maritime transport system - (The maritime transport market, The containerized maritime transport, The capacity of a port infrastructure, The analysis of port competitiveness, The operational costs of the maritime transport service, Perspectives of development of the Italian and European port); 6)
The railway transport system - (Italian railway transport, the network as a natural monopoly, the effects of the liberalization of railway transport, the de-regulation and liberalization, the costs of rail transport, the other transport systems with restricted driving); 7) The road transport system - (Roads, road transport, effects of upgrading urban transport infrastructure, an economic analysis of road congestion, market failures in road use and correction policies; Private cost, social cost of the road system); 8) Air transport systems - (Fixed installations in air transport; Air transport between regulation and deregulation; Air fleet; Operational capacity management and pricing techniques; Cost structure in the air sector; Chartering services; low cost carriers; the air transport production function); 9) The analysis of the transport demand - (Analysis of the demand for mobility; Models with discrete choice for the estimation of the demand for mobility; Conjoint analysis and estimation of the demand for mobility; Typologies and project of the surveys; The four-stage model for the estimation of the mobility application); 10) Transport pricing - (The allocation function of tariffs and the limits of traditional methods; Charging systems with excellent prices and discrimination; Transport rates, Ramsey of dynamic price regulation); 11) Evaluation of investments in the transport sector - (Analysis and experimentation of investments in the transport sector, Cost-Benefit Analysis (ACB), Evaluation of extra market assets, Multi criteria analysis).

Module II will have as its subject the study of the presence of Hispanic culture in the Mediterranean and Caribbean area.

Prerequisites
Italian:
The course is held by the teacher in Spanish language. Therefore, sufficient knowledge of the oral language (level B1) is initially required in order to follow the lessons.
Course Contents
Italian
Module I
Culture (to be defined with the teacher)

Module II
Political language. The module focuses on the study of political language. The characteristics and analysis of political discourse.

Didactic Methods
Italian:
The teaching for the Course of Culture of the Spanish Language Countries (8 CFU) is divided into two modules: 1) Cultural; 2) Linguistic.

Module I Culture: the topics will be dealt with frontally and in the form of seminars. Students are therefore required to follow both the lessons and the seminars that will take place during the academic year and that will be reported by the teacher. A paper to be agreed with the teacher will be carried out.

I Module II: Sectoral languages. The political language: the topics will be dealt with frontally and it is planned to carry out a thesis to be agreed with the teacher.

Methods of verifying learning
Italian:
The exam includes an oral interview.
The oral exam, which can only be taken by those who have a level starting from B1, concerns module I (Culture) and module II (Sectoral languages. Political language) and will take into account the thesis that is preliminary to the oral exam and must be given at least two weeks before the oral exam.
