Master in Analisi e Valutazione delle Politiche Pubbliche

In the last few decades, a demand for assessment of public policies at various levels has also become widespread in Italy. In particular, numerous regulations have introduced the culture of an institutionalised assessment following the experience of the Anglo-Saxon world and have set out evaluation practices in many areas of public action, from public investments to the university system, to local health authorities, to the Regions, etc. In the face of new requirements for the institutionalised analyses and evaluation of public policies, multi-disciplinary knowledge and tools, and specialised techniques are necessary. This 2nd level Master’s course is proposed in collaboration with the Senate of the Republic and aims to train professionals whose skills and knowledge can become a reference standard for the analysis and evaluation of public policies. The training programme provides for a high investment in the learning of statistical and econometric methodologies for the ex-post and ex-ante evaluation of public policies, with a strong focus on counterfactual analysis methods.

The aim of the master is to train public officials to assist the legislators in the design and evaluation of public policies. The participation of the course is open also to PhD students, master graduates or professionals interested in developing specific competences in the field.
