Learning outcomes

The course covers the main contemporary issues in public finance and public economics. It is aimed at allowing students to read and understand the theoretical and empirical literature (both academic and policy-oriented) as well as to implement their own research. Reference is also made to main institutional aspects at the national and, where relevant, international level. Students will develop a sound knowledge of concepts and phenomena related to public finance and public intervention in the economy with special reference to: social security, taxation and investment/financial decisions; taxation and labor supply; public debt; market regulation; market auctions. Students will be able to assess critically the economic and social implications of the main public intervention schemes. Students will be also introduced to the use of scientific software to simulate the impact of public policies on individual behavior.

Program

Main Subjects
- Taxation: impact on investment decisions and labor supply; choice of the tax base.
- Social security: impact on investment decisions and labor supply; pension reforms in an ageing society.
