Learning outcomes
Many economic decisions need quantitative answers to quantitative questions. The course plans to provide the basic econometric tools to reach two mail goals: 1) running, based on the available data, a quantitative analysis of the relation between economic variables and 2) correctly interpreting the results.
Econometric tools may be used in many economic domains (finance, labor economics, macroeconomics, microeconomics, marketing and political economy) as well as in social sciences (political science, sociology, health). The course will also show several applications in economics and management using the freeware software Gretl.

Examination Methods
È prevista una prova di accertamento intermedia, facoltativa, a metà corso. La prova intermedia ha lo scopo di stimolare lo studente allo studio sistematico ed assiduo della materia man mano che si affrontano i vari temi e quindi a migliorare il processo di apprendimento. Tale prova è in forma scritta e verte sugli argomenti del programma affrontati sino a quel momento.
Se la valutazione è di almeno 16/30, la prova intermedia contribuirà per il 50% del voto finale. In caso di esito positivo, la prova intermedia può essere fatta valere esclusivamente nel primo appello della sessione d’esame invernale. Per gli studenti che intendono avvalersi della prova intermedia, la prova scritta finale riguarderà gli argomenti trattati dalla ripresa delle lezioni successiva alla prova intermedia e fino alla fine delle lezioni.
Per chi non intende utilizzare l’opzione della prova intermedia (o ne rifiuta l’esito) la prova finale verte su tutto il programma.
Le prove sono articolate in più quesiti ispirati agli esempi/esercizi presentati in aula nonché a quelli contenuti nel materiale disponibile online e nel libro di testo. Le prove sono tese ad accertare la conoscenza degli argomenti in programma, e la capacità di applicare metodi e modelli econometrici.
Durante il semestre saranno inoltre proposte due esercitazioni facoltative di gruppo (homework), con l'intento di sviluppare capacità critiche ed analitiche. Le due esercitazioni contribuiscono alla determinazione del voto finale, limitatamente ai due appelli della sessione d’esame invernale.

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.
