Master of Science in European Economy
and Business Law

dear students,

as mentioned in class, It will be important next week to start all our lectures and presentation days at 11 sharp.

Since I said that the presentations will be in the last two lectures, and we have 14 presentations, we will have seven presentations each day. This means that it is very important that you respect the allocated time of (maximum) 15 minutes each, including the technical time to load the presentation on the computer, etc.

It would be ideal if you could email me and Susie your presentation by Tuesday evening, so that we can put them on a memory stick before the beginning of the sessions on Wednesday at 11, and you don't lose part of your 15 minutes loading and finding the final of your presentation.

Please remember that your attendance to others' presentations in both days will be taken into account, and it will be important for the exam: some of the exam questions will be connected to some of the papers presented, and you're expected in your answers to make that connection. The main content of the presented paper is part of the program.

See you on Monday at 11!

all the best

Dear students,

I am trying to create a mailing list, including only and all the students registered to my course.

I just sent around an email from my personal email address with subject "mailing list 1st attempt".

If you are registered to my course, plan to take my exam, and did not receive the above mentioned message, then please let me know by writing me back to my personal email address (spagnologianca@gmail.com)

Thank you!

The papers for presentation will be made available tomorrow after the lecture as a complete mailing list of students registered to my course does not seem to be available. If there are Erasmus students or students from other programs other than the 2nd year EEBL following the course they should write an e-mail to me and Susie White.

Thanks!

Dear students,

The link to the folder with the papers among which you can choose the one you want to present will be soon made available to you by e-mail.

When you have chosen your paper, reply to the mail using "reply all" indicating the paper you chose, so thet other students know that the paper has already been chosen.

If somebody else chose a papers before you, you have to choose another one.

As I explained in class, if the paper you choose is technical, mathematically or econometrically, you of course don’t need to go into the technicalities.

In that case, you can read carefully the introduction, the literature review, the main results and the conclusions. What you need to present, for these technical papers, is indicatively:

• What are the main research questions
• Why are they important in general
• How do they relate to our course
• What are the answers they provide (and how they get to the answers, but without too much technicality)
• How do the answers contribute to the knowledge we had before this paper was written
• Why the answers are important, in general and in relation to what we discussed in class
• What is your opinion on the study

Since you have 15 minutes, including questions, do not produce too many slides. Depending on how they are (try not to make them too full otherwise the audience will read them instead of listening to you), I think it should be below 10 sides, I would stay towards 7 or 8, and try how long does it take to present.

Please do not use characters smaller than 20 in the slides.

Take care

Interesting mini course on economics of inequality: https://economia.uniroma2.it/phd/ef/cal/2635/jesper-roine-stockholm-u

it's at 2 o'clock, but you have to register first

here https://cepr-org.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_tR5C5iNfQJSfDz1KK0IUlg

I'm not sure it's still possible so just in case

because the last elevator died, today’s lecture room will be room A at the first floor of the other building (edificio ricerca)

Please tell other students if you have a whatsapp group
