The primary objective of this course is to familiarize PhD students with state-of-the-art theoretical frameworks, analytical models, and empirical approaches developed by leading scholars in the field of applied economics. The course provides an in-depth examination of contemporary research addressing pressing economic challenges at the micro-, meso-, and macroeconomic levels. As an integral part of the course, PhD students will participate in scientific workshops organized by the International Laboratory of Intangible-Driven Economy. These workshops provide opportunities to engage with ongoing research projects, discuss work-in-progress papers, receive feedback from faculty members and fellow researchers, and become involved in contemporary academic debates. Participation in these workshops is intended to foster research collaboration, enhance scholarly communication skills, and facilitate the integration of doctoral students into the international research community.
