SECS-P/03 - PUBLIC ECONOMICS
Period
Secondo semestre (lauree) dal Feb 20, 2023 al May 31, 2023.
Learning objectives
The course aims to provide students with rigorous economic tools for the modern analysis of public policies. We will review the justifications for the economic role of the state, focusing on the role of public expenditure, taxation and regulatory policies. We will supplement the analysis of theoretical models with evidence from Italian public policies. We will focus on the underlying motivations behind public interventions and on the effect of public policies in terms of efficiency and equity. At completion of the course, students should be able to understand and evaluate critically the justifications for the public intervention in the economy, to analyse and assess rigorously public policies on the basis of economic theory, and to master the economic analysis of the main Italian taxation tools.
Prerequisites and basic notions
No prior knowledge is compulsorily required. Basic concepts of Macroeconomics and Microeconomics will be resumed during the course. On these subjects students are invited to follow the relevant bibliographic indications provided by the associated courses that are organized with the course of studies.

Learning assessment procedures
The assessment of learning outcomes is carried out through a final written exam on the entire course program which includes multiple choice questions and exercises evaluating the ability to apply technical knowledge, and open questions that focus on assessing the development of critical analysis and the ability to connect between the topics analyzed in the course.
Students will also have the opportunity to complete theit evaluation through a mid term exam on the first part of the course and a final exam on the second part of the course that will take place in the first exam date scheduled for the course in the exam session for the semester where the course is delivered. Both exams will receive an equal weight in the evaluation.
Evaluation criteria
The exam questions will verify the ability to apply the technical knowledge developed during the course, the development of critical analysis and the ability to relate between them the topics analyzed in the course.
A specimen the exam will be provided on the e-learning website of the course.
Criteria for the composition of the final grade
The overall grade will result from the sum of the evaluations of the questions presented in the written test. The weight of the various questions will be indicated in the exam.
For those who take the partial exams, each of the two exams will receive equal weight in determining the overall grade.
