Learning objectives

The aim of the course is 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.
- Analyse and assess rigorously public policies on the basis of economic theory.
- Master the economic analysis of the main Italian taxation tools.

Prerequisites and basic notions

Program

-Positive and normative public finance; the fundamental theorems of welfare economics; market failures (externalities; public goods; asymmetric information).
-Government revenues and expenditures: a taxonomy.

Didactic methods

Traditional lectures and Excercise classes

Learning assessment procedures

The examination procedures are the same for attending, non-attending and Erasmus students.
The assessment of learning outcomes is carried out through a written exam which includes multiple choice questions, exercises and open questions.
The exam may (optionally) be split into two parts: the first will be scheduled during the course, with questions on topics covered until that point; the second, scheduled for the same date as the whole exam, with questions on the remaining part of the programme.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE

Evaluation criteria

The exam questions will verify the ability to apply the technical knowledge developed during the course and the ability to relate between them the different topics.

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 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.
