Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to provide students with rigorous economic tools for the analysis of competition and regulation policies. We will analyse and discuss the economic motivations underlying public intervention for regulation of markets and with particular interest on the analysis of the main regulatory tools. In the first part of the course we will focus on the analysis of auctions and procurement mechanisms. The second part will focus on the analysis of regulation policies. The analysis will be develloped from the theoretical point of view with attention to empirical evidence and study cases. At completion of the course students should be able to: * Understand and evaluate critically the justifications for the public intervention in the regulation of markets and promotion of competition. * Analyse and assess rigorously the economic implications of auction and procurement mechanisms for allocation of resources and contracts and for access to markets.
Program
The course involves 36 hours of lectures
The program is divided into threeparts.
Part I The economics of auctions and procurement:
- Introduction to the tools for the analysis of strategic interaction
- Applications to the analysis of auctions and procurement with particular attention to the analysis of public tenders
Part II Market regulation and tariffs
- Relation between market power, efficiency, social welfare and natural monopoly
- Economic analysis of regulatory mechanisms.
Textbooks and teaching materials:

Examination Methods
For the final assessment students should be able to demonstrate:
- Understanding and mastering of the relevant aspects of game theory and their application to the analysis of strategic behaviour of firms. In particular students should be able to apply these concepts to both numerical problems and case studies related to the definition of optimal pricing and quality strategies for firms in general auctions or procurement auctions.
- To be able to presenting their arguments rigorously in a limited amount of time by identifying and selecting the relevant aspects to focus on.
- To have acquired appropriate competence on the issues discussed in the module, so that to be able to apply the related concepts to the analysis of case studies.
Students could supplement the final assessment with the evaluation of a project work on specific topics of the course. The project work will include a presentation and the submission of an essay.
Type D and Type F activities
Nei piani didattici di ciascun Corso di studio è previsto l’obbligo di conseguire un certo numero di crediti formativi mediante attività a scelta (chiamate anche "di tipologia D e F").
Oltre che in insegnamenti previsti nei piani didattici di altri corsi di studio e in certificazioni linguistiche o informatiche secondo quanto specificato nei regolamenti di ciascun corso, tali attività possono consistere anche in iniziative extracurriculari di contenuto vario, quali ad esempio la partecipazione a un seminario o a un ciclo di seminari, la frequenza di laboratori didattici, lo svolgimento di project work, stage aggiuntivo, eccetera.
Come per ogni altra attività a scelta, è necessario che anche queste non costituiscano un duplicato di conoscenze e competenze già acquisite dallo studente.
Quelle elencate in questa pagina sono le iniziative extracurriculari che sono state approvate dal Consiglio della Scuola di Economia e Management e quindi consentono a chi vi partecipa l'acquisizione dei CFU specificati, alle condizioni riportate nelle pagine di dettaglio di ciascuna iniziativa.
Si ricorda in proposito che:
- tutte queste iniziative richiedono, per l'acquisizione dei relativi CFU, il superamento di una prova di verifica delle competenze acquisite, secondo le indicazioni contenute nella sezione "Modalità d'esame" della singola attività;
- lo studente è tenuto a inserire nel proprio piano degli studi l'attività prescelta e a iscriversi all'appello appositamente creato per la verbalizzazione, la cui data viene stabilita dal docente di riferimento e pubblicata nella sezione "Modalità d'esame" della singola attività.
ATTENZIONE: Per essere ammessi a sostenere una qualsiasi attività didattica, inlcuse quelle a scelta, è necessario essere iscritti all'anno di corso in cui essa viene offerta. Si raccomanda, pertanto, ai laureandi delle sessioni di dicembre e aprile di NON svolgere attività extracurriculari del nuovo anno accademico, cui loro non risultano iscritti, essendo tali sessioni di laurea con validità riferita all'anno accademico precedente. Quindi, per attività svolte in un anno accademico cui non si è iscritti, non si potrà dar luogo a riconoscimento di CFU.
