Educational objectives The aim of the course is to provide students with the necessary skills that, once they are inserted in work contexts such as international organizations, Italian public bodies, in particular belonging to SISTAN, NGOs, private companies, make them able to contribute to the interpretation and analysis of sustainable development processes, through the measurement of interactions between economic, social and environmental phenomena.
At the end of the course the student will acquire knowledge and understanding of the systems of indicators developed at international (SDG) and national (BES) level to monitor the achievement of the sustainability objectives, with particular reference to the indicators deriving from the integrated economic and environmental accounting.
The acquisition of quantitative assessment tools of sustainability processes will enable the student to perform data analysis in order to understand the interactions between economic, social and environmental phenomena at different spatial scales (international and in particular European, national and sub-national) ).
The autonomy of judgment, understood as the ability to elaborate independent judgments on the main issues of sustainability through the statistical tools acquired, as well as the acquisition of autonomous learning abilities, will be developed through the drafting of term papers on some case studies. The oral presentation of these works and the discussion with the class will help the students to develop the ability to communicate information and define problems and solutions in a clear and understandable way

Educational objectives The focus of the course is the analysis of the international financial markets, along with
their main characteristics. Statistical and quantitative methods will be used for the analysis. A relevant theme is the conceptualization of the most
important financial products. Special attention will be paid to the evaluation of the
financial activities not only in a deterministic setting, but also under a stochastic
perspective.
In the context of the Dublin descriptors, the aim of the course is to achieve the following
targets:
First Dublin descriptor: a fruitful attendance of the course would lead to a deep
comprehension of the financial intertemporal equivalence mechanisms and of the
optimal asset allocation problem.
Second Dublin descriptor: students are expected to have a critical view of the
international financial models, with the understanding of the more relevant positive and
negative aspects.
