Advanced Economic Analysis is a second-year course of the PhD program in Economics. State-of-the-art tools for both micro- and macroeconomics, as well as for policy modelling are taught. The course aims to prepare students to formulate and analyse dynamic models in which the agents' decision problems are explicitly stated. The course is organized in a series of topics and seminars. Since it is intended that students be exposed to lectures and research experience of high international levels, each topic is taught by visiting professors of recognized expertise.
