Master's Degree in Economics, Development and Innovation
The Master Program in Economics, Development and Innovation (MEDI) offers two tracks:
Industrial Organization and Innovation
This track aims at providing students with the necessary theoretical foundations, tools and methodologies for understanding and analysing innovation and competition within industrial sectors. The courses touch on many different areas: economics, econometrics, law, and management. Students will initially acquire a solid background in industrial economics, competition policy and market regulation, economics of innovation and analytical tools and methodologies useful to understand industry structures and the role of innovation in determining industrial dynamics. In the second year, students will have the opportunity to analyse more deeply the functioning of specific industrial contexts (energy industries, digital markets) and/or specific cross industry subjects (intellectual property rights). Learning the specific software required for economic and econometric analysis will also be the object of dedicated Laboratories (LAB).
