2016-2019

Europe - Asia Undergraduate Programme at Sciences Po - France

For the period 2016-2019 I was a visiting Professor at Sciences Po (Europe-Asia Programme) where I have taught the following courses:

  • Entrepreneurship and Public Policies - Winter Workshop 2017, 2018 and 2019
  • Development Economics - Fall 2016
  • Introduction to Microeconomics - Fall 2016
  • Introduction to Macroeconomics - Spring 2016

Entrepreneurship and Public Policies - Winter Workshop 2017, 2018 and 2019

  • I taught the Entrepreneurship and Public Policies Workshop at Sciences Po, campus du Havre in the Winter Workshops.

  • The course objective is to understand the characteristics of both entrepreneurs and the entrepreneurial process, discuss the process of generating ideas and identifying opportunities, gain insights on the role of entrepreneurs in society, their contribution to society and their impact on job creation, and assess related public policies.

  • The goal of the course is to gain a theoretical understanding of economic questions related to entrepreneurship, entrepreneurial attitudes, and public policy approaches, both in advanced and emerging economies. The course takes both a micro and macroeconomic approach to entrepreneurship. From a microeconomic perspective, the course discusses issues related to physical, human, and social capital acquisition and performance within the production process of the firm. From a macroeconomic perspective, the course discusses the rationale and policies related to supporting the creation of entrepreneurs and the survival of existing firms currently implemented in OECD and non-OECD countries.

Development Economics - Fall 2016

  • This course examines theoretical and applied studies on economic development: economic growth, inequality, poverty, and the role of public policies. After introducing the main issues from a global perspective, the first part of the course analyses micro topics: the determinants of and the returns to investment in health, education, and financial capital; child labor and gender. After the midterm, the second part of the course analyses macro topics: economic growth and its determinants, resource misallocation, impacts on productivity, the evolution of institutions, and the effects of external influences on development. I use the book “Economic Development, 12th Edition” written by Michael Todaro and Stephen C. Smith.

Introduction to Microeconomics - Fall 2016

  • I follow the book “Principes de Microeconomie” written by Etienne Wasmer

Introduction to Macroeconomics - Spring 2016

  • I use the e-book “The Core Economy”, which I highly recommend.
