Obiettivi formativi

Il corso ha l’obiettivo di approfondire e ampliare le conoscenze acquisite nel precedente modulo Macroeconomics, introducendo tematiche relative all’estensione del modello di crescita di Solow per includere la dimensione della sostenibilità ambientale, all’analisi dell’equilibrio macroeconomico di breve periodo in economia aperta, al ruolo delle aspettative nei modelli macroeconomici e all’analisi delle moderne politiche economiche, sia fiscali sia monetarie. Allo studio degli strumenti teorici si affianca la loro applicazione all’interpretazione dei principali fenomeni macroeconomici in Italia e in Europa, consentendo agli studenti di utilizzare le conoscenze acquisite per analizzare le problematiche proprie delle economie moderne e di comprendere i concetti presentati nella letteratura di riferimento, anche attraverso il riconoscimento dei modelli teorici e delle loro applicazioni empiriche.

Learning objectives

The course aims to deepen and broaden the knowledge acquired in the previous Macroeconomics module by introducing topics related to the extension of the Solow growth model to incorporate environmental sustainability, the analysis of short-run macroeconomic equilibrium in an open economy, the role of expectations in macroeconomic models, and the analysis of modern economic policies, both fiscal and monetary. Alongside the study of the theoretical framework, the course emphasizes its application to the interpretation of major macroeconomic developments in Italy and Europe, enabling students to apply the knowledge acquired to analyze the challenges faced by modern economies and to understand the concepts presented in the core literature through the recognition of theoretical models and their empirical applications.
