This program regards both didactic modules (30 hours each, for a total of 60 hours).
The approach of the Laboratory is applied and inter-disciplinary. The learning objectives are focused on the development of professional capacities in applied economics and economic policy, with a planning that alternates lectures, practical classes and seminars with external experts.

An integrant part of the course, that constitutes element for final evaluation, is the drafting, by each student, of a research report (a written report or an exercise in applied economics or other types of monograph study chosen with the agreement of professors).
The particular structure of the Laboratory requires the compulsory attendance to seminars and practical classes. Attendance to all lectures is highly advised. The program for students that cannot attend lectures has to be agreed on with the teachers.


Testi Adottati
