Essentials of Economics

The course aims to provide the bases of the economic theory and, by means of examples, knowledge of the agricultural sector and agro-industrial system necessary for graduate training and in particular for the economics courses of the following two years.

Knowledge of economic language, method and basics; understanding of articles, essays and debate about economic themes (growth, prices, etc.). At the end of the course, students will be able to apply fundamental economic concepts to evaluate economic decisions, understand market dynamics, and analyze economic policies. This will lead to a critical and practical understanding of economic theories in everyday contexts. Students will also learn to communicate the knowledge they have acquired clearly and coherently, using appropriate economic language. Furthermore, they will develop skills to continue their independent study of economics by identifying useful resources and formulating critical questions, thus fostering continuous learning in the field of economics.
