The new MSc in Economic Policy Studies is a two-year part time course of interest to participants in the policy process from both the public and private sectors. It is designed to enable graduates apply economic perspectives, approaches and related skills to the process of policy-making in organisations. The programme is organised through the Policy Institute at Trinity College Dublin.

The programme offers a choice of two streams, enabling students to choose course content most appropriate to their own needs and interests. The Competition and Regulation [CR] stream specialises in the economics of competition and regulation policy. The Policy Analysis [PA] stream is a more general course, focussing on the analysis of a range of public policy issues from an economic perspective. It also addresses the personal and managerial aspects of the policy formulation process. ...

Graduate programs in economics aim to train students in such a way to enable them to carry out independent research. For this purpose, the programs are designed to ensure that the students get a solid background in both economic theory and the techniques used in empirical research. While the Department offers both M.A. and Ph.D. degrees, the M.A. degree is considered, in principle, as an intermediate step that is passed en route to the Ph.D. The core requirements common to both programs leave little room for choosing the courses to be taken in the first year, but the students are offered considerable flexibility as to their choice of the fields of specialization later on.

Obiettivi e contenuti

La Facoltà di Scienze economiche dell'Università della Svizzera italiana organizza un Master congiunto con l'Alta Scuola di Economia e Relazioni Internazionali (ASERI) dell'Università Cattolica di Milano, coinvolgendo studenti svizzeri, italiani e stranieri interessati ad un curriculum di studi che permetta loro di ottenere un doppio titolo: un Master italiano di primo livello e un Master svizzero (laurea magistrale). Il MEPIN offre un ampio bagaglio di strumenti scientifici e competenze specifiche, indispensabili per la comprensione dei fenomeni economico-politici legati alla globalizzazione. Le basi sulle quali si sviluppa l’intero programma sono legate allo studio dell’economia, della finanza, del diritto e delle istituzioni, delle politiche internazionali. Verranno inoltre fornite conoscenze di carattere multidisciplinare necessarie per affrontare tematiche quali lo sviluppo sostenibile, il microcredito, l’etica economico-finanziaria e, più in generale, le forme di cooperazione tra autorità pubbliche e operatori economici privati tese al raggiungimento di un obiettivo comune, quale la prestazione di un servizio o la creazione e la gestione di un progetto. Le partnership tra il pubblico e il privato sono oggi sempre più frequenti in vari settori (sanità, public utilities, infrastrutture, servizi sociali e risorse ambientali) e a tutti i livelli (locale, nazionale e sopranazionale). In molte organizzazioni internazionali il partenariato pubblico-privato costituisce una modalità privilegiata per la realizzazione di programmi di interesse pubblico relativi a tematiche fondamentali come l’energia, i trasporti o i progetti di cooperazione allo sviluppo. Lo studio degli ambiti di intersezione tra pubblico e privato, dal livello locale a quello globale, richiede competenze sia nel settore economico-finanziario, sia in quello delle politiche pubbliche, nonché la conoscenza degli aspetti giuridico-regolamentari e di comunicazione relativi ai rapporti tra le due sfere. Il Master in Economia e Politiche Internazionali risponde a queste esigenze proponendo un approccio interdisciplinare che alle specializzazioni tematiche abbina l’analisi complessa. Ai partecipanti vengono proposte due serie di corsi, una nella sede di Lugano (primo semestre) e una in quella di Milano (secondo semestre). Il programma si completa, nel terzo semestre, con l'elaborazione di una tesi e con uno stage in un'istituzione nazionale o internazionale (pubblica o privata). Il sistema adottato per il conferimento del titolo è quello dei crediti. La formazione poliedrica e interdisciplinare che offre il Master in Economia e Politiche Internazionali ha permesso ai suoi diplomati di inserirsi rapidamente e con successo in aziende multinazionali, in banche e società finanziarie, in enti territoriali, in organizzazioni non governative, nell’insegnamento e in istituti di ricerca. Le figure professionali che escono da questo Master possiedono sia competenze pluridisciplinari, sia conoscenze specifiche che permettono loro di operare in tutti quei settori in cui pubblico e privato cooperano....

Master of Science in Economics, Major in Economic Policy

The State plays a crucial and sometimes dominant role in modern market economies. The current economic and financial crisis is just a confirmation of this fact by strenghtening further the influence of the public sector on the economy. Irrespective of the area considered, from global warming to population ageing, the prosperity and the sustainable development of our societies depend largely on the soundness of the economic policies adopted at local, national and international levels. Economic analysis provides the essential tools for guiding decision-making, evaluating past and present policies, proposing efficient remedies, but also helping private agents adopt the right attitude towards various forms of State interventions....
