Propedeuticità
If you do not have any clue of economics we highly recommend you take the crash courses at the beginning of the first year
Prerequisiti
Module Advanced Microeconomics
Prerequisites
This is an advanced class. At the beginning of the course, we will review the basic tools needed. Some previous knowledge of economics is a prerequisite.
Grading
The exam will be written and based on exercises and problems setting on whichwe are going to practice during the course.
Logistics
Students with particular needs should see me at the very beginning of the course.
Module Advanced Macroeconomics
The exam is written both for those students who decide to attend and those students who decide not to attend the course. Knowledge of basic mathematical tools (such as static optimization in one- or multi-variate problems, with and without constraints; differential/difference equations analysis) is a strict pre-requisite for taking this course. Attendance of the course is warmly suggested.
