- Contents
- The course aims to introduce "Innovation Policies" within the broader field of "Economic Policies for Sustainability". Starting from empirical evidence, including long-term evidence, on global economic and geopolitical dynamics, the course moves on to analyze multilevel economic and institutional policies (global, European, national, and local) aimed at "integral economic, social, and environmental sustainability." Theoretical aspects will provide the basis for understanding both the complex real-world dynamics and evaluating policy interventions, including from a comparative perspective. Significant attention will be given to specific in-depth work (individual or in small groups) based on a comprehensive reading list from which students can freely select specific content deemed most useful and appealing for their specific educational path.

- The course aims to introduce students to "Innovation Policies," within the broader field of "Economic Policies for Sustainability." To this end, starting with key empirical evidence, including long-term evidence, on global economic and geopolitical dynamics, the course moves on to analyze multilevel economic and institutional policies (global, European, national, and local), including from a "comprehensive sustainability" perspective. Theoretical aspects will provide the basis for understanding both the complex real-world dynamics and evaluating policy interventions, including from a comparative perspective. Significant attention will be given to specific in-depth work (individual or in small groups) based on a comprehensive reading list from which students can freely select specific content deemed most useful and appealing for their specific educational path.
