It allows them to develop the methodological approaches and knowledge required to analyze and evaluate the complexities of money and financial markets, also with an eye to their respective innovations and appropriate regulatory and supervisory action. The course provides advanced preparation in microeconomics and macroeconomics, and develops the technical skills needed to understand the price-formation mechanisms of financial assets, as well as the mechanisms for securities trading and managing corporate finance, mergers, acquisitions and the like.
