1_ThE COllEgiO

dear Allievi, it is my greatest pleasure to welcome you at Collegio Carlo Alberto. your committment and enthusiasm will be a fundamental part of this enterprise. here you will have the opportunity to develop your intellectual skills not only through courses, but also through frequent interactions with the researchers of the Collegio.

Welcome once again,

Pietro garibaldi

ThE COllEgiO

The Collegio Carlo Alberto was created in 2004. it is a foundation jointly established by the

Compagnia di San Paolo and the University of Torino. its mission is to foster research and teaching in economics and the social sciences, upholding the values and best practices of the international academic community.

The Collegio is a dynamic research community formed by faculty of the University of

Torino, full-time junior and senior faculty, hired on the international academic job market, visiting scholars. They conduct interdisciplinary research within the social sciences, with both empirical and theoretical emphasis.

As far as education is concerned, the Collegio promotes and coordinates the “Allievi Program.”

The Allievi are outstanding students of the University and the Politecnico of Torino who, in addition to fulfilling their university requirements, receive advanced training (courses and seminars) at the Collegio. The program’s goal is to nurture the best talents, directing them towards either the best graduate programs in economics and statistics or successful highlevel business careers.

The Collegio also organizes five master’s degree programs: a master in economics, a master in economics & Complexity, a master in Finance, a master in insurance & risk management and a master in Public Policy and Social Change (the latter three in collaboration with the University of Torino). Finally, two doctoral Programs of the University of Torino are hosted at the Collegio.

every two years, the Collegio awards the Carlo Alberto Medal to an outstanding italian economist under the age of 40. The medal award ceremony takes place in mid-June alongside the Vilfredo Pareto lectures , a series of lectures delivered by distinguished scholars in economics and Social Sciences.

The Collegio also organizes several outreach events addressed to the general public. The

Collegio Aperto lectures are a series of lectures on current economic, social and political events, given by leading international scholars and professionals. The annual Onorato

Castellino lecture , also featuring distinguished scholars and public intellectuals, honors the memory of the first President of the Collegio and member of the research unit CerP, who bestowed the institution his vision, integrity, and grace. Besides the events listed above, research interaction with the international community is fostered by the seminar series and numerous conferences that the Collegio organizes during the academic year.

For those who are interested in economics, finance and other social sciences the Collegio is a unique research and educational opportunity, spanning academic research and public policy.

2_allievi program

The allievi program of the Collegio Carlo Alberto is an “honors” program that enhances the education of outstanding students from the University and the Politecnico of Torino.

The objective is to help them succeed in their international academic or professional careers. The Allievi attend courses and tutorials at the Collegio that are in addition to the students’ university requirements. The Allievi Program thus complements and strengthens the preparation students get during their college years.

The Allievi of the Collegio Carlo Alberto are enrolled either in a laurea triennale or in a laurea magistrale in economics and related subjects at the University or at the Politecnico of Torino.

Related subjects are widely defined and include, for instance, engineering, mathematics, political sciences and statistics. These students are expected to fulfill their university requirements, as well as to participate in additional activities (classes and tutorials) at the

Collegio.

The admission to the Allievi Program is purely based on merit. The Collegio awards a scholarship and provides a study station to each student admitted to the program. The Allievi interact on a daily basis with faculty members, Fellows and Affiliates of the Collegio. Moreover, they have access to the Collegio’s facilities and scientific activities, such as seminars, conferences, masters and doctoral courses. The studies of each Allievo are supervised by a mentor assigned upon enrollment.

The Allievi are subdivided into:

• Junior allievi : these are students enrolled in a laurea triennale program at the University or at the Politecnico of Torino. In addition to the university degree, the Junior Allievi who successfully fulfill the Collegio requirements are awarded the Allievi Diploma from the

Collegio.

• Senior allievi : these are students enrolled in a laurea magistrale program at the University or at the Politecnico of Torino. In addition to the university degree, the Senior Allievi who successfully fulfill the Collegio requirements are awarded the Master in Economics from the Collegio. Alternatively, depending on the Allievi’s interests and inclinations, and in agreement with the Director of Studies, specific study programs may be designed which then lead to the award of the Master in one of the following three subjects: Economics and

Complexity; Financial Economics; Statistics and Applied Mathematics.

orgaNiZaTioN oF STUDieS

All lectures held at the Collegio are delivered in English.

Courses are scheduled in 12-weeks semesters. The first semester runs from the last week of

September, whereas the second semester starts in mid February.

The following types of courses are offered:

• Standard semester courses : these courses meet twice a week and last for 30-40 hours overall. The average class size is of 15 students.

5

• Directed studies : a faculty member individually advises an Allievo on a mutually agreed topic.

• Tutorials : a faculty member advises a small group of Allievi on a topic of mutual interest.

• Seminar courses : the instructor selects a suitable number of seminars in the Collegio’s seminar series relevant for the Allievi’s training; the Allievi are then expected to attend these seminars, to meet the speakers, and to discuss the papers presented at the seminars with the instructor.

For each course, the instructor distributes a syllabus detailing the topics to be covered, office hours and grading policy. Class attendance is compulsory. At the end of each course there is a written test, and the grade earned by the Allievo is reported in her/his academic records at the

Collegio (both in thirtieth, according to the standard Italian university grading system, and in letters; see the conversion table at the end of the section with grades explanation).

Subject to seating availability and class size limit, the Director of Studies can authorize students of other institutions to attend semester courses at the Collegio. The exchange students are expected to be honors students at their home institution.

Degree reQUiremeNTS

The Allievi must enroll either in a laurea triennale or in a laurea magistrale program at the

University or at the Politecnico of Torino. The additional activities of Junior and Senior Allievi at the Collegio last, respectively, for three and two years.

Upon enrollment, the Director of Studies nominates a mentor who supervises each Allievo’s studies at the Collegio. The mentor is a faculty member of the Collegio.

At the beginning of each academic year, the Allievo prepares a study program for the given year in accordance with her/his mentor. Such a program must comply with the specific rules set below and is then submitted, for approval, to the Director of Studies.

If an Allievo fails an exam at the Collegio, the Director of Studies can, at her/his discretion, ask the Allievo to either quit the program or take the exam again during the following academic year.

At the end of each academic year, an Allievo is expected to complete at least 75% of her/his required university coursework (measured in credits), with an overall grade average of at least

27/30. Otherwise, the Director of Studies can, at her/his discretion, ask the Allievo to quit the program.

The Allievo who successfully completes her/his course requirements both at the University and at the Collegio with an overall average grade of at least 27/30 is admitted to the final examination.

JUNior allievi

The program of studies of a Junior Allievo must include at least two courses per year, for an overall course load of at least 60 hours, to be chosen among the courses offered at the

Collegio.

For the Junior Allievi, the final examination consists of an oral discussion where the Allievo discusses an essay that she/he wrote on a subject of her/his choice. The Allievo’s essay is

6


expected to demonstrate that she/he fruitfully attended the Collegio’s courses and that her/ his preparation is adequate for undertaking the Master’s degree program offered in the second level of the Allievi Program - laurea magistrale. The essay is supervised either by a faculty member or by a fellow of the Collegio. Based on the oral examination, the exam committee, composed by three faculty members, decides whether or not to award the Diploma to the

Allievo (with or without distinction).

The final examination cannot be taken more than once and must take place by the month of December immediately following the official end of the laurea triennale. Otherwise, the

Allievo must quit the program and the Diploma cannot be awarded.

The Junior Allievi who earn the degree with distinction are automatically admitted to the

Master’s program as Senior Allievi. Junior Allievi who earn the degree without distinction can be admitted to the Master’s program only via the regular Senior Allievi admission procedure.

SeNior allievi

The program of studies of a Senior Allievo must include at least three courses per year, for an overall course load of at least 90 hours, to be chosen among the courses offered at the Collegio.

For the Senior Allievi, the final examination consists of an original thesis to be written on a subject of her/his choice. Its contents are presented in a scientific seminar, called thesis defense, to an ad hoc Thesis Committee. The Allievi are expected to master the recent scientific literature on the topic and to give some original insight into the problem. The thesis work is supervised either by a faculty member or by a fellow of the Collegio. The Allievo is expected to communicate to the Director of Studies the name of her/his supervisor at the latest by the end of the third semester. Once nominated, the supervisor replaces the mentor. The Thesis Committee acts on behalf of the teaching board and consists of three members nominated by the Director of Studies among the Board’s members.

Based on the quality of the written thesis and of the seminar, the Thesis Committee decides whether to recommend to the Collegio’s Director to award, with or without distinction, the Master to the Allievo (the distinction requires a unanimous vote of the Committee). The supervisor is expected to attend the final examination seminar and, before the seminar and behind closed doors, to present the Allievo and her/his achievements to the Committee. However, she/he does not participate in the deliberations of the Committee regarding her/his advisee. The thesis defense is open to public.

The final examination cannot be taken more than once and must take place by the month of

May immediately following the end of the laurea magistrale. Otherwise, the Allievo must quit the program.

Based on the Thesis Committee’s recommendation, the Collegio’s Director decides whether the

Allievo can be awarded the Master, with or without distinction. The Collegio officially awards the degrees to the Allievi in a public graduation ceremony.

7

After graduation, the Senior Allievi become Alumni of the Collegio. As such, they can join the

Alumni Association, they are invited to all public ceremonies and events at the Collegio and they have access to the Collegio’s facilities and resources.

FiNaNCial aiD

The Collegio may provide an Allievo with individual scholarships that contribute to:

• fees and tuitions due to the University;

• lodging (only for students non-resident in the Piedmont area);

• teaching and research material (such as books and software) related to the activities performed at the Collegio.

Lunch meals are provided for all students.

Allievi from outside the Piedmont Region are typically offered a single room accommodation at the Collegio “R. Einaudi” (http://www.collegioeinaudi.it/), a renowned university residence, which provides highest standard student accommodation since 1935.

The Director of Studies can also award funds to the Allievi to cover their participation to conferences and workshops relevant for their final dissertations.

aDmiSSioN

Any Italian or foreign student eligible to enroll or already enrolled in a laurea triennale or magistrale in economics or related subjects at the University and at the Politecnico of Torino is entitled to apply to the Allievi Program. Related subjects are widely defined and include, for instance, engineering, mathematics, political sciences and statistics.

A call for candidates for a given academic year is typically available starting from February of the previous year.

www.carloalberto.org/people/aparicio/ course description

This course intends to provide students with basic microeconometric tools to address empirical questions, with special emphasis on their application to Labor Economics, Public Economics and

Development Economics. I describe the econometric theory behind the different techniques, comment on empirical research papers applying these techniques and lead students through the implementation of the econometric methods using actual data sets.

requirements

At the end of the course, students are expected to be able to discuss the suitability of the specifications used in applied economics research, comment on the validity of instrumental variable strategies, design difference-in-differences estimations, understand the context in which regression discontinuity design is applied and be able to obtain correctly estimated standard errors.

evaluation

Students will be evaluated on the basis of a final project executed in groups of 4 students maximum, periodic assignments and an exam.

By the end of the course, the students should have the ability to understand and implement the basic tools of Bayesian statistical methods for their own data analysis purposes.

Prerequisites

The minimal prerequisites for this course are a mastering of basic Probability theory for discrete and continuous variables and of basic Statistics (maximum likelihood estimation).

contents

1. Inference for binomial, Poisson and normal distributions

2. Hierarchical models

3. Multivariate normal distribution

4. Linear regression models

5. Generalized linear models

6. Bayesian nonparametrics

Additionally, we will cover the basics of Monte-Carlo integration and Markov chain Monte

Carlo (Gibbs sampling and the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm). This material will be covered concurrently with the material listed above.

Grading

There will be an in-class presentation of a paper, chosen from a list, and a final exam consisting of a written test in which students will be asked to provide solutions to a set of exercises. textbooks the main text for the course is:

In this tutorial we will overview some fundamental topics in financial economics. We will start from questions such as:

• What is a speculative bubble? What do tulips in the 17th century, radio in 20th century and internet between the 20th and 21st century have in common?

• Is it possible to statistically predict the price of a stock and make money?

• Why do speculators attack a country/currency? Do they coordinate? Are they always right?

• What is the role of collateral in the financial system? What is its role in the propagation of economic shocks?

• What are derivatives? Are they useful or harmful for the economy?

• How did the mortgage crisis lead to the collapse of Lehman Brothers?

In particular, we will address these questions by introducing economic models and by providing a conceptual framework that can also be applied to analyze other relevant issues. structure of the class

Classes are intended to be interactive. We will read some material in advance and we will start from it in our discussion.

In this course, we present an introduction to economic problems and, more importantly, economic reasoning. Our first objective is to illustrate the questions economists aim to answer. We show how economics deals with issues of diverse nature, like:

• What explains the reduction in criminality occurred in the last two decades?

• Which is the influence of parents on children outcomes?

• How is the production of a society distributed? Why do some get more than others?

• Why do some people succeed far more than others?

• Why are most hockey players born in January?

• Why does unemployment occur? Is it avoidable?

Our second objective is to describe the methods economists use to answer these widely diverse questions. We will test economic theories both by using real data and designing our own experiments.

Students and instructors meet weekly to discuss the contents of the class. Before each meeting, students should read the assigned material, in order to organize the discussion around it.

course description

This is an introductory course on ordinary differential equations with some applications.

Fundamental prerequisites are elementary calculus and linear algebra. The main objective of the course is to become familiar with a wide range of ordinary differential equations, which typically arise in economic and financial modelling, and to be able to approach them and solve the easiest ones. Although elementary integration should be part of basic calculus, I will nevertheless give an adequate introduction to Riemann integrals, before starting with the core topics of the course. Complex numbers will also be introduced as preliminary material for the course. Thus, the course will consist of two main parts: preliminaries (integrals and complex numbers) and ordinary differential equations.

Problem sets

A number of problem sets will be assigned after the completion of each main part. The problem sets are intended to help students to familiarize with the introduced techniques, in preparation for the final exam: assignments will not be collected and marked.

exam

There will be a final exam at the end of the course (in the first or second week of December).

This course provides a hands-on introduction to some key mathematical problems that can be solved thanks to a computer, and to the techniques that allow to do it. The course will start with an introduction to graph theory and optimization problems defined on a graph, and classical and/or general approaches to deal with them. A significant part of the time will be spent writing programs to solve practical examples of the above problems. This will give us the opportunity to discuss some “ancillary” topics, covering the basics of effective programming (illustrated with python) and some general concepts and techniques.

The course introduces the theory of Lebesgue integration. After defining appropriate structures of sets such as algebras, semi-algebras and sigma-algebras, we provide the notion of Lebesgue-Stieltjes measures, and their construction from semi-algebras to sigma-algebras.

We then constructively define integrals with respect to a Lebesgue-Stieltjes measure and state their most relevant properties. The relationship with classical Riemann integration and the connection with probability theory are also examined.

sites.google.com/site/imonzon introduction

This class presents a formal analysis of microeconomic theory focused on decision theory, consumption, production, aggregation, and choice under uncertainty. The objective pursued is to introduce, carefully and in depth, the analytical tools used in microeconomic theory.

The introduction of these topics in a meticulous way serves the following purposes. First, mastering the theory of consumption and production is fundamental to understand (and work on) applied and theoretical labor economics, public economics or industrial organization.

Consequently, students interested in these topics should invest in learning microeconomic theory. Second, the theory of choice under uncertainty permeates all economic research. In particular, uncertainty plays a key part in game theory, which is introduced in its own course in the fall semester. Third, the microeconomic theory of consumption and production is used in international economics and macroeconomics. Specifically, this class tackles the issue of aggregation: it analyses under which conditions we can focus on aggregate entities and disregard the individual problem. Last but not least, microeconomic theory is fascinating by itself: it deals on how to build simple models that capture our intuition to study complex phenomena.

Prerequisites

This class builds on prior exposure to economic concepts and to mathematical reasoning.

Regarding mathematics, as a guide, traditional mathematics sequences in multivariable calculus and some real analysis should suffice. There are concepts used in this class, however, that are not covered in such sequences. These concepts are introduced as needed.

It is, therefore, necessary for students to have enough mathematical ability to acquire the necessary knowledge “on the fly”. Required prior exposure to economics is at a similar level.

An intermediate course on microeconomics would be a good background. Yet, students whose economics is limited to one introductory and one intermediate microeconomics courses may find both the material and the pace of this course rather daunting.

requirements and Grading

Formal requirements for the course include regular attendance and participation in lectures, weekly problem sets, a midterm exam and a final exam. Problem sets are demanding, mandatory and an essential part of the course. Problem sets’ solutions provide students with a guide on how well they are grasping the material on a “real time” basis. Students are

encouraged to work in groups on the problem sets. However, students should understand the material on their own, and hand in their own problem sets. The course grade is determined by the midterm, the final and the problem sets. No late submissions of problem sets are accepted.

There are no make-up exams or alternative dates.

To account for possible unexpected problems, the lowest grade in a problem set will be dropped. There are three possible grades in each problem set, (+), which corresponds to 10/10,

(√), which corresponds to 7/10 and (-), which corresponds to 4/10. If the problem set is not handed in the corresponding grade is 0/10.

The final grade will be a combination of the problem sets grades (15%), the midterm exam grade (40%) and the final exam grade (45%).

textbooks

The main text for the course is:

• Andreu Mas-Colell, Michael D. Whinston and Jerry R. Green, “Microeconomic Theory”,

Oxford University Press, 1995 (MWG)

Alternative textbooks that students might also find useful are:

• Hal R. Varian, “Microeconomic Analysis”, W.W. Norton & Co., 1992

• Geoffrey Jehle and Philip Reny, “Advanced Microeconomic Theory”, Addison Wesley, 2000

• Rubinstein, Ariel, Lecture Notes in Microeconomic Theory, 2007 (available online at: http:// arielrubinstein.tau.ac.il/Rubinstein2007.pdf)

This course concerns “complicated” probability distributions, involving many variables with non-trivial correlations. The problems of generating samples from such a distribution and computing the average of some functions over it will be discussed, as well as their solution thanks to the Monte Carlo technique and the connection with optimization. We will also investigate some properties of random graphs. A significant part of the time will be spent writing programs to solve practical examples of the above problems. This will give us the opportunity to discuss some “ancillary” topics, covering the basics of effective programming

(illustrated with Matlab) and some general concepts and techniques.

The goal of this course is to provide students with mathematical tools that are necessary for understanding modern economics, doing research or practical work. The object of study in this course - the problem of finding an optimal course of actions subject to feasibility constraints - appears in almost every subfield of economics, the theory of firm, consumption choice problem, macroeconomics, industrial organization, labor economics, just to name a few. The art of solving such problems, however, is usually “too applied” to find space in a purely mathematical curriculum. In this course, the emphasis will be put on the theory of constrained optimization but we aim to provide an integrated treatment that relates the mathematical theory to economics.

During the lectures, the theory and mathematical background will be presented and typical problems will be solved.

Prerequisites

The course syllabus assumes a good command of single variable calculus and linear algebra.

requirements

Formal course requirements include attendance of the lectures, a midterm and a final exam.

Political economics is an interdisciplinary field that focuses on the interactions between political institutions, economic agents and legal systems. The primary goal of this course is to provide a formal and rigorous analysis of key topics in political economics and to provide answers to policy-relevant questions, such as:

• Under which conditions does a society that decides through majoritarian voting make coherent decisions?

• How does electoral competition affect taxation, public-good provision and other redistributive policies?

• How does bargaining power affect the allocation of a fixed surplus between two parties?

• How does the outcome of legislative bargaining change as we modify the bargaining protocol (closed vs. open amendment rule)?

• To what extent can lobbies affect politicians’ decisions in their own favor?

A secondary goal is to provide students with a tool-kit they can use to further advance their understanding of this field. course outline

The course is an introduction to NUMERICAL methods in economics. The course will introduce students to the key NUMERICAL techniques used in contemporary quantitative economics:

Stochastic difference equations, non linear models, Dynamic programming, Markov chains and other tools used for solving Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium models.

The main example will be from macroeconomics but the same tools can be used in the field of economics. The spirit of the course is to acquaint students with the fact that contemporary economics relies heavily on computer power.

The main language used in the application is Python, a popular Open source computer language that is now increasingly applied in economics. Knowledge of the programming language is not essential but some background in basic programming will be an advantage.

DSGE models will also be solved with the help of Dynare, an open source application for

Matlab and Octave.

description of the course

Industrial organization extends the theory of the firm by analyzing market frictions, imperfect competition, limited information, and regulations. In the first part of the course we will study behavior of monopolies: how they set prices in static and dynamic settings, what are the optimal ways to sell products, how they choose product quality, and how monopolies can affect social welfare. In the second part we extend the analysis to multiple firms and study the behavior of oligopolies. The major interest is in different forms of competition and collusion.

In the third part, we extend the analysis to the situations where the buyers are boundedly rational: for example, how to treat buyers who are unable to make very complex comparisons.

The final part of the course takes a more general view and uses mechanism design to discuss which allocations are generally implementable and what kind of institutions deliver the optimum.

topics

1. Monopoly : pricing, durable goods, product selection, quality, advertising, product differentiation, price discrimination

2. oligopoly : static models of competition, dynamic models of competition, competition with differentiated products, vertical differentiation, monopolistic competition, entry, search, sales

4. Bounded rationality: rational buyer model, quacks, obfuscation

5. Mechanism design: institution-free approach requirements

Requirements include weekly problem sets, a midterm (40%), and a final exam (60%).

carlo alberto Medal

The Collegio has instituted the Carlo Alberto Medal to be awarded to a young Italian economist (resident in Italy or abroad) under the age of 40 for her/his outstanding research contributions to the field of economics (broadly defined). After the first five editions, in which the prize has been awarded annually, it has now become biennial.

The recipient delivers the Carlo Alberto Lecture and is nominated Honorary Fellow of the

Collegio.

obJective

The prize represents the public recognition given to a young scholar for the scientific results attained. For young scholars at Italian universities, it provides a further incentive to pursue their research activity with renewed commitment. For Italian scholars who work at universities and research institutions abroad, the prize is a public recognition on the part of the country of origin.
