Altre informazioni

The course aims to frame the evaluation of plans and projects in the broader context of economic, estimative and corporate finance doctrines.
An interdisciplinary methodological vision is proposed that aims to make the student autonomous in the evaluation process, developing the critical attitude to the choice of the optimal evaluation approach and application to the real evaluation contexts.
Space is given to advanced theoretical study, also with reference to in-depth texts of consolidated and frontier literature, to stimulate students' interest in innovative courses in evaluation theory.
