- At Maastricht University:
- ECB and Monetary Policy (Graduate level)
- Using a textbook three-equation model, this course provides theoretical insight into how the ECB operates in the European economy. Furthermore, the course allows for connecting theory to policy by incorporating high-profile guest speakers and a day trip to the ECB in Frankfurt.
- Modern Economic Crises (Intermediate Macroeconomics)
- This course provides more advanced insights than traditional macroeconomics courses into the general equilibrium dynamics of economic crises such as the GFC. It presents an in-depth analysis of the banking sector’s role and monetary policy in mitigating such crises, and studies the pass-through mechanism of monetary policy through commercial banks.
- Introduction to Economics
- This course reviews basic concepts in micro and macroeconomics for students enrolled in the international business programme at SBE. The course content includes consumer and producer behaviours, public economics and national accounting.
- International Economic Relations (International Macroeconomics)
- This course critically examines the growth of international economic integration and its uneven benefits. It explores the theoretical aspects of the global economy, including exchange rates, international markets, competitiveness, and trade benefits.
- Emerging Markets (International Political Economy)
- We focus on the role of emerging markets in the global context, and how empirical economic methods can help assess it. It covers topics such as international trade, financial globalisation, migration, governance and environmental issues.
- Globalisation Debate
- This course explores globalisation by examining the global flow of goods, capital, ideas, and people. It will discuss how these flows impact economies, focusing on challenges like financial shocks, intellectual property issues, and the effects of migration, including brain drain and cultural assimilation.
- Economy Game (Experimental Economics)
- Students participate in a series of market simulations in which they represent consumers, producers or traders. Afterwards they will analyse the data of the market simulations and compare them to the standard theory they have learned during their first year. Moreover they will apply the learned concepts to real life situations in their writing assignments.
- At LUISS Guido Carli:
- Asset Pricing
- This class will provide an advanced analysis of asset pricing theory, financial instruments, and investment strategies. Students are expected to learn state-of-the-art asset pricing models and understand the relationship between risk-return. The focus of the class is applied and students will use MATLAB for applications.
- Monetary Policy, Economic Growth And International Affairs
- The course helps to understand the main interdependences among monetary policy, economic growth and international affairs. Lehman Brothers, the Arab Spring, climate change, oil and commodities price, the financial crisis in South-East Asia in the ‘90s, the slowdown of Chinese and BRICs’ economies, Brexit, the US Presidential election, the Eurozone crisis, the Greek crisis, deflation in Japan, are all events somehow linked with monetary policy decisions. The course helps to understand these links. And to analyze the complex interdependences in today’s world.
