A member of the administrative office will ensure that the Auditorium door is open at the beginning of every seminar and field seminar organized by the Department of Economics. Unfortunately, it will not be possible to guarantee that the door remains open after the seminar begins.

Finally, (online) seminars offered by national and international research institutions might be included, upon suggestions or approval by the Degree Coordinator.

Assessment methods

Students choosing this activity should:

1) either attend the workshop organized by professor Massimo Giuliodori (Applied Macroeconometrics) - 6 lessons to be defined in April – May or:

2) write down the list of the six* seminars they attended to and prepare a report for three of them. The three reports will provide a summary and a synthetic critical assessment of the methods and results contained in the papers presented in the selected seminars. (minimum length: one page; maximum length: two pages for each chosen seminar).

3) email the list with the six* seminars and the three reports to Prof. Roberto Golinelli by the end of June of the current academic year.

(*) Due the short notice, this year students have to attend six seminars, while since next the attendance is due for ten seminars. In any case, the number of three seminars to be reported is always the same.
