Economia internazionale: l'economia reale
Questo Corso è parte del
Pathway in International Economics
Introduzione al Corso
The topics covered by this course are at the very heart of today's economic and political events. We aim at providing sound and specific tools for the analysis of international economics and explore the most up to date evidence on and interpretation of the current and most relevant phenomena of the international real economy. Beyond these general goals we aim at presenting and analysing in a critical manner the position of our country, Italy, in the rapidly changing world economy. The course focuses on the determinants and consequences of integration of good and factor markets. We will dissect three main core issues: 1) the main explanations for observed trade flows between countries and, from countries' trade patterns, we will move to highlight the role of firms in the international markets; 2) within the general issue on the role of firms in trade, we will focus on how small firms and small firms' clusters - namely industrial districts - cope with the increasing pressure of globalisation; 3) finally, we will explain the emergence and intensification of migration waves and will highlight the main aspects of EU migration policies. The main value added of the course is having instructors whose research field overlaps with the topics that they will cover.Scienze Sociali

The course will allow participants to understand the main real economy models underlying the functioning of the international economy. The course will deliver a clear picture of how factor and good markets work in a globalised economy and what are the forces shaping the international specialisation of countries and the competitiveness of firms in world markets. Beyond these general goals, the course will analyse in a critical manner the position of our country, Italy, in the rapidly changing global economy.
