Introduction: The econometrics course aims at giving the students all the necessary tools for a thorough comprehension of contemporary applied econometrics literature, plus a solid understanding of the main topics in contemporary econometrics. The course is divided into 3 main modules:
Module (a) will not go into the specifics of applied econometric techniques, but rather aims at making the students familiar with the main statistical and computational techniques used in contemporary applied econometrics. Modules (b) and (c) are more applied in nature than module (a) and will focus on applications as well as the theoretical aspects.

Introduction: This course aims at giving PhD students a solid intermediate and upper intermediate treatment of the foundations of microeconomic theory, and to present selected extensions, as a basis for enabling the comprehension of the contemporary developments of the literature. Main topics are consumer and firm’s behavior, market structures and regulation, and partial and general equilibrium analysis. In detail, the course is divided into the following main modules:
While the main emphasis is put on theoretical aspects, some modules also feature empirical applications.
