On the Economy and More — From the Italian Perspective

As part of an Erasmus Plus project, the Faculty of Economics hosted a series of lectures and a master class by professors from the partner University of Tuscia (Viterbo, Italy).

On May 20-22, the Faculty of Economics hosted a series of lectures and a master class by professors from the partner University of Tuscia (Viterbo, Italy) as part of an Erasmus Plus project. Invited professors Tiziana Laureti, Giulio Guarini and Ilaria Benedetti discussed various aspects of the statistical processing of economic and financial data, as well as problems of the economic crisis with undergraduate and graduate students of the faculty.

The guest professors noted both the Nizhny Novgorod students' enthusiasm and active participation in the classroom as well as their high level of proficiency in statistics, especially for such a short period of study (2-3 courses). The 1st year students were able to attend a lecture on macroeconomics, and they demonstrated both linguistic and professional competency.

The faculty professors and instructors also discussed prospects for joint research projects with their Italian colleagues.

We thank our Italian guests for the interesting lectures and we thank Associate Professor of the Department of Information Systems and Technologies of the Faculty IMCS Pavel Malyzhenkov for the opportunity to hold them.
