Technological Innovation and Risk Regulation

The course aims at providing students with analytical tools relevant for knowledge of regulatory strategies. In recent years, technological innovation has led to profound changes in the structure of the markets for the supply of goods and services with consequent repercussions on public and private decision-making processes, as well as on the business models of companies and the very structure of the markets. In this context, the primary educational objective of the teaching, within the framework of the interdisciplinary training of the Degree Program, is to develop knowledge and provide the tools to develop the ability to face and understand these recent significant transformations of the economic reality and the possible modalities of legal intervention. In particular, students will be guided on a path aimed at increasing their knowledge and understanding of phenomena and the purposes of regulation. Hence the course (complemented with interactive class activities on specific topics and eventually guest speech talks) is aimed at providing students with qualified (professional) profiles and renewing contents and methodologies of teaching EU market regulation and European policies thanks to the development of multi-disciplinary studies. The use of interacting teaching methods is aimed at improving communication skills and testing the ability to apply acquired knowledge. It will also enable students to undertake a critical appraisal of the main matters

The course introduces students to the regulatory aspect of risk and innovation in particular in the data economy. After the end of the course students know the basic principle and the instruments of regulation and regulation risk.
They gain a thorough understanding of the problems of innovation, technological change ( i.e. artificial intelligence, blockchain, ) and its regulation. In particular they should be able to interpret, understand and think critically applying the concepts presented throughout the course.
