ECONOMETRIC PROSPECTIVES ON CIRCULAR ECONOMY
(objectives)
The course aims at introducing students to the main econometric tools for the analysis and advanced processing of economic data, specifically connected to the study of an economic system oriented towards circularity. The examination of the different statistical inference tools and instruments, linear and non-linear regression models will allow students to acquire useful knowledge to acquire critical ability and autonomy of judgment in choosing and implementing the most appropriate statistical and econometric tools for processing of statistical data of an economic nature. The applications and case studies drawn from scientific literature will allow students to become aware of and know the state of the art and research carried out in the circular economy framework, with specific reference to the quantitative aspects, tools and methods, the specifications adopted for the implementation of business and economic models of circular economy and the related study of the relationships and associations between variables.
With specific reference to the Dublin descriptors, the course aims to achieve the following learning objectives:
Knowledge and ability to understand : at the end of the course, students will acquire specific knowledge on statistical methodologies for data analysis related to some main topics of interest for the degree course. With reference to econometric methodologies, students will develop methodological knowledge and the ability to use methods and tools for: a) descriptive data analysis; b) the study of relationships between variables both from a descriptive and inferential point of view; c) multivariate data analysis. Students will acquire skills on the characteristics of the different structures of databases (cross-section, time series, longitudinal data) and on their management and processing through statistical software.
Ability to apply knowledge and understanding: at the end of the course, students will have acquired methodological knowledge and analytical skills and will be able to independently interpret analyses and empirical research on the most relevant areas of intervention in the international arena with specific reference to circular economy strategies and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Students will be able to: i) evaluate the results of empirical analyses; consider the appropriateness of the econometric methodologies used; identify any limitations of the statistical and econometric analyses carried out and consider the use of alternative approaches; ii) develop case studies relevant to public decision makers, outlining the topic of interest, selecting the databases, identifying the econometric methodologies of empirical analysis, and communicating the main findings in the form of presentations and/or reports.
Autonomy of judgement: the course is designed to foster a critical approach to the use of different methods of data analysis for the interpretation of national and international phenomena of interest and relevant to the degree course. Students will: i) develop critical skills on the use of various methods in relation to the analysis objectives of the international phenomenon under study; ii) be able to assess the contribution of a specific data analysis methodology to the study of complex phenomena; iii) develop the ability to coherently integrate the contribution provided by quantitative analysis methods with the student's interdisciplinary skills. These objectives are pursued by providing practical activities of work and data processing, functional to activate critical thinking processes of the individual student's skills.
Communication skills: students will have developed specific skills to communicate in an unambiguous and clear manner the data analysis scheme adopted for the empirical study, with particular reference to the structure of the databases, the statistical and econometric methods used, the results obtained. The ability to effectively communicate data analysis and the acquisition of an appropriate technical language will be achieved through written tests, presentation and discussion of research results on empirical data, scientific articles and reports on issues related to the circular economy and economic sustainability.
Learning skills: the teaching methodologies used during the course, which will include the development of case studies and participation in seminars, and the use of methods of verification of learning through the implementation of practical projects will help to strengthen the capacity for independent judgment and the development of self-learning skills by students. This competence will be achieved through the application of econometric and statistical methods in areas strictly relevant to the degree course.

BIOECONOMY AND AGRI-FOOD SYSTEM
(objectives)
The Bioeconomy and Agro-Food System course is essentially oriented towards understanding the role that natural resources and their use, particularly in the agro-food sector, can have for the development of the bio-economy. It aims to provide students with the analytical tools to understand the opportunities offered but also the technical and economic constraints for a sustainable use of natural resources in the context of the bio-economy. In this context, the course will focus on the role of the agro-food system in pursuing its multiple objectives, as well as on the complementary and competitive relationships with other sectors of the bioeconomy in the use of natural resources. Such knowledge and skills aim to provide students with the ability to evaluate: a) the policies implemented at the local, national and international level for the development of a sustainable bio-economy and; b) to formulate, on the basis of the incentive structure offered by the market and by policies, innovative projects in processes and products.
Dublin Descriptors
1. KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
The course aims to provide basic theoretical and methodological knowledge in order to allow the student to independently understand the interaction between the dynamics of the agri-food system and the development of the bioeconomy. This knowledge will be acquired mainly through lectures, the reading of targeted texts and participation in thematic in-depth seminars.
2. ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
The student must be able to apply the methodological and theoretical knowledge acquired, thus acquiring the ability: a) to evaluate the policies implemented at the local, national and international level for the development of a sustainable bio-economy and; b) to formulate innovative projects in processes and products on the basis of the incentive structure offered by the market and policies. These specific skills will be developed above all through the examination of strategic documents, statistical data and the debate in the classroom.
3. AUTONOMY OF JUDGMENT
The autonomy of judgment will derive from the technical mastery of the tools, and from the understanding of the reasons that make different approaches bearer of different solutions in different contexts. This is built through lessons that encourage reasoned discussion with students and group work that stimulates discussion.
4. COMMUNICATION SKILLS
The student should acquire the ability to expose and present the problems and topics covered by the course with mastery of language and adequate analytical skills. The exercises focused on critical reading and interpretation of official documents and statistical data will aim precisely at implementing this skill.
