Learning outcomes
The course analyzes firms’ problems - including interactions with owners, management, the workforce, and input providers - as well as analyzing the basic issues of corporate governance and corporate finance. The major objective of the course is to prepare the students for a critical assessment of these economic situations and the related economic policies. We analyze firms’ choices using the essential tools of microeconomics and information theory. Upon completing the course, in terms of learning outcomes students will be expected to understand and use the basic analytical tools adopted, with a special emphasis on the theory of incentives, that investigates the behavior of economic agents in the presence of asymmetric information and divergent interests.

There you will find information, resources and services useful during your time at the University (Student’s exam record, your study plan on ESSE3, Distance Learning courses, university email account, office forms, administrative procedures, etc.). You can log into MyUnivr with your GIA login details: only in this way will you be able to receive notification of all the notices from your teachers and your secretariat via email and also via the Univr app.
Method of attendance, teaching delivery and locations
The lectures on all the subjects of the course of study and the related examinations take place in person.
However, as a further service to students, it is also envisaged that, unless otherwise announced by the individual lecturer, lectures will be video-recorded and made available on the relevant e-learning spaces of the lectures a few weeks after they have taken place. Exceptions to this timing will only be possible for part-time students.
Attendance is not compulsory.
Further details on compulsory attendance can be found in the course regulations available under Regulations in the Course menu. Although the regulations do not stipulate a specific obligation, please check the instructions provided by the individual lecturer for each course or any laboratories and/or internships.
Part-time enrolment is permitted.
The venue for lectures and examinations is the Vicenza University Hub.
Linguistic training CLA
Graduation
The final exam consists of a paper in written form of at least 80 pages, exploring a topic of the student's choice relating to one of the subjects in the student's syllabus. The topic and title of the paper must be selected in agreement with a university lecturer from one of the SSDs included in the student's syllabus. The work must be developed under the guidance of the lecturer. The thesis is the subject of an oral presentation and discussion in front of a Degree Committee on one of the dates established explicitly in the calendar of teaching activities. In agreement with the Supervisor, the thesis may be written, and the discussion may take place in English.
Internships
The curriculum of the three-year degree courses (CdL) and master's degree courses (CdLM) in the economics area includes an internship as a compulsory training activity. Indeed, the internship is considered an appropriate tool for acquiring professional skills and abilities and for facilitating the choice of a future professional outlet that aligns with one's expectations, aptitudes, and aspirations. The student can acquire further competencies and interpersonal skills through practical experience in a work environment.
