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.
