Period
Secondo Semestre Magistrali dal Feb 27, 2017 al Jun 1, 2017.
Learning outcomes
The focus of the course is on the ex-ante and ex-post economic evaluation of projects with major impacts from the societal standpoint, for which the information provided by relevant markets is incomplete. The discussion of the theoretical background, mainly based on applied “welfare economics” will be carried on along with the introduction to the techniques typically employed to tackle practical issues in economic evaluation. Students will learn how to integrate information from financial and economic evaluations at the different stages in the project life-cycle and to assess the impact of projects in theory and practice. These issues will be also discussed with reference to EU guidelines for projects candidate to access “structural funds”.
Case studies from a variety of fields will be presented and empirical exercises with real world data will be performed in the computer lab. During the course, students will be given the opportunity to work independently on a specific case study and present it in class.
Program
- Financial and economic evaluation in the project life-cycle
- Applied “welfare economics”: costs and benefits evaluation with market imperfections
- EU guidelines for cost-benefit analysis of investment projects (available at: http://ec.europa.eu/regional_policy/sources/docgener/studies/pdf/cba_guide.pdf)
- Economic evaluation when a market does not exist
- Risk assessment
- Project impact assessment and quasi-experimentation
