Objectives








Seminars II  aims to present and discuss themes, debates, and case studies from several areas of Economics, Finance, and Management, through participation in seminars with guest speakers from academia, the business world, and public or private institutions.


 Each student will learn to select, research and critically discuss topics of interest for their academic development and will be able to integrate theoretical knowledge in the analyses and resolution of concrete economic problems.

The course also aims to introduce the student to the master thesis research process and expose students to academic research work in Economics from FEP and its research centers, with a focus on projects and research topics that can inform or integrate dissertation/report themes.

 

Learning outcomes and competences

The course aims at developing advanced competencies of economic research and analysis applied to concrete problems,  independent and collaborative work, and proficiency in oral and written communication and argumentation.

At the end of the semester the students must be able to:

  • Actively participate in the discussion of the guest speaker's presentation.
  • Summarize and critically discuss the topics presented.
  • Apply acquired knowledge in Economics to perform a critical reflection of the presented themes, with technical reasoning. 
  • Perform an adequate literature search and review to a specific theme and find relevant debates and research lines.
  • Show understanding of concepts, theories, empirical work, and relevant debates related to the themes they worked with.
  • Communicate and present the results of their analysis, orally and in writing.
  • Discuss and criticize their own and classmates' work.

Program

The selection of topics and guest-speakers in the seminars program aims to expose the students to current debates, themes, policies, study-cases and   lines of research in various areas of applied economics and to offer them several examples of prototype research projects that integrate knowledge and tools taught in various courses.

Mandatory literature

.; .

Comments from the literature

Students are responsible for the selection and search of relevant literature.

Teaching methods and learning activities

Seminars and workshops with guest-speakers from different subject areas of economics and management and discussion of these issues.
Seminars require the attendance and active participation of students. Besides the presentation time by the invited speaker, all sessions have a period of discussion and debate, where informed participation by all students is expected. Ideally, this space should allow the clash between the acquired theoretical references and the topics covered by the speakers.
