Multilingual in the International Market 
A course of study at the School of Economics prepares students for the global workplace. This is achieved by setting high international academic standards. The focus is therefore on multilingualism and multiculturalism which are provided by the international provenance of both our students and our teaching and research staff. The different core subjects we have been successfully offering for a number of years include economics and business management, political sciences and law. The main features of these courses are their highly practical nature, their international relevance and their sound theoretical foundation. This is impressively borne out by the results achieved by the faculty: a high number of students complete their studies on time and our graduates have a cutting edge in today’s international job market.  
To study here you need to be liberal-minded and cosmopolitan, highly-motivated, capable and prepared to give your best. Together with social and communication skills, these will all lead  to a trans-boundary all-round ability, one which is highly sought after in the global labour market.  
The faculty’s outstanding results are confirmed by independent national and international studies: the School of Economics is cited as one of the 5 best in the 2008 CHE-ranking list published by the German weekly ‘Die Zeit’. The faculty also figures prominently in Italian ranking lists (‘La Repubblica’), constantly grouped among the top universities and achieving even better placings than many famous private Italian universities. Particulary successful and with a high national and international standing are the faculty’s professorial research initiatives, the faculty research centres like CRELE (Center for Research in Law and Economics) and TOMTE (Center for Tourism Management and Tourism Economics) with their highly international and interdisciplinary approaches. The faculty’s research programme is network-oriented and rooted in both local and international realities. There is also a particular focus on fostering up-and-coming academics.

Bank Market Structure, Systemic Risk, and Interbank Market BreakdownsAbstract: This paper explores theoretically the implications of bank market structure and banking system risk concentration for the functioning of interbank markets. It employs a simple model where banks are exposed to both credit and liquidity risk, there is no asymmetric information, no market power, no friction in secondary markets and contracts are complete. We show that (a) the concentration of risks induced by changes in bank market structure makes interbank market breakdowns more likely; (b) welfare monotonically decreases in risk concentration; and (c)  risk concentration and a high probability of interbank market breakdowns can be driven by risk control diseconomies of scale and scope and increases in financial firms' size. Improvement of risk control technologies in financial institutions and in regulatory bodies as banking system become more concentrated appear as important as other policies considered in the literature to minimize the probability of interbank market breakdowns.Prof. Marcella Lucchetta

The Effect of Information Choice and Discussion on Consumer Willingness-to-Pay for Nanotechnologies in FoodAbstract: The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the value of different pieces of information under three different conditions of information provision, forced choice, individual choice and choice after deliberation, on consumers' acceptance when an innovation with high levels of uncertainty, like food nanotechnologies, is at stake. Results show that choice of information matters as it is the information considered as most important by consumers which effects most their willingness to pay and not the first information provided.Area: Agricultural EconomicsProfessor Jutta Roosen

Collaboration and Specialization: Practices that link work across expert domainsAbstract: This article investigates how people succeed at collaborating across diverse domains of expertise. Based on 18 months of field research into interdisciplinary cancer research at two top universities in the US, this article develops a dynamic and holistic model of cross-domain collaboration. Findings suggest that the process of collaboration unfolds in a cycle of alternating phases of individual and collective work during which scientists apply a set of collaborative practices. These practices – try-out, projection, joint assessment, and consultation – ensure that contributions are compatible across expert domains and work phases. This study advances the literature in identifying individual work as main driver of collective work by virtue of shared practices that align the application of diverse expertise over time.
