Obiettivi Formativi
PART 1 (Tampieri)
Analysis on how individual behaviors and economic institutions interact to produce aggregate outcomes, and how both individuals and institutions change over time
PART 2 (Dubovyk)
We will study how macroeconomic policies are shaped through the interaction of politics and economics. How political institutions influence the economic growth and development. We will analyse how transfers within society affect income redistribution and intergenerational transfers. We will study life-cycle models that are useful tools in the analysis of dynamic behaviour. Computational methods and structural estimation of life-cycle models will be investigate.
