The first module (30 hours) of the course aims to provide students with the tools needed to understand the functioning of monetary economy and the operative aspects of Central Bank monetary policies. It explains what money is, the debate on its origins, the different approaches to the determinants of the demand for money and its supply, monetary policy instruments and equilibrium in the assets markets. The lectures of this first module will be held in Italian.
The second module (30 hours) concentrates on the relations between money, prices and outputs in the long and short run. It also analyses the debate on rules and discretion in monetary policies, the Taylor rule and the sustainability of public debt. These themes are developed according to both a traditional and heterodox approach. A knowledge of basic microeconomic and macroeconomic notions is a prerequisite for this second module.
