Economics and Finance

The primary learning outcome of this subject is to allow students to learn theoretical elements and basic mathematical instruments to evaluate elementary financial operations. Furthermore, students must know how to interpret the results of their application to real problems. Specific objectives Knowledge and understanding: After attending the course, students know and understand the problems related to the evaluation of the basic financial operations and mathematical models to be used to solve such problems. Capacity to apply knowledge and understanding: At the end of the course, students can formalize basic financial operations, according to the correct mathematical approach and apply specific models of the subject, to solve evaluation problems. Autonomous judgment: At the end of the course, students can collect and read data concerning basic and complex financial, borrowing-and-lending as well as investment operations, also in a context governed by fixed or varying interest rates. Communication skills: At the end of the course, students can explain and represent problems and solutions in the financial field, through the methods acquired. Learning skills: At the end of the course, students acquired basic financial logic that will allow them to approach further studies in the area of theories and processes of complex financial markets.
