First of all the course requires <strong>your <\/strong><strong>active role in the discussion<\/strong> of the seminars. What I mean is that you make direct questions to the speakers during the seminars. Moreover, each student <strong>must write one extended Review Report<\/strong> <strong>(RR)<\/strong> for one of the paper presented. The RR should be articulated as follow: i) discuss context and research questions; ii) assess source, historical material and data; iii) provide a discussion of approach and methods; iv) suggest improvements and refinements for the analysis. Finally, all students have to organize themselves in groups (2 students, max 3) and prepare an Economic History<strong> Research Project (RP)<\/strong> which must contain: i) a well-defined research question; ii) sources to be used; iii) methods; iv) conclusions.\u00a0Final evaluation will be based on class participation (25%) and on the quality of RRs (25%) and RP (50%).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Economic History course for Phd in Economics (14 hours) &nbsp; Tuesday 3rd April 2018: 14-16 Michelangelo Vasta The geography of innovation in Italy, 1861-1913: evidence from patent data Topic: Innovation Thursday 10th May 2018: 11-13 Michelangelo Vasta The origins of the Italian regional divide: evidence from real wages, 1861-1913 Topic: Standard of living Monday 14th &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/docenti-deps.unisi.it\/michelangelovasta\/2018\/04\/01\/phd-course-in-economic-history-2018\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-987","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-phd"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/docenti-deps.unisi.it\/michelangelovasta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/987","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/docenti-deps.unisi.it\/michelangelovasta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/docenti-deps.unisi.it\/michelangelovasta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/docenti-deps.unisi.it\/michelangelovasta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/docenti-deps.unisi.it\/michelangelovasta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=987"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/docenti-deps.unisi.it\/michelangelovasta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/987\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":988,"href":"https:\/\/docenti-deps.unisi.it\/michelangelovasta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/987\/revisions\/988"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/docenti-deps.unisi.it\/michelangelovasta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=987"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/docenti-deps.unisi.it\/michelangelovasta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=987"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/docenti-deps.unisi.it\/michelangelovasta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=987"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
