ABOUT THE MASTER IN ECONOMICS AND DATA ANALYTICS
Master in Statistics, Data Intelligence, and the Foundations of the Sciences
The Master aims to fill a gap in the Data Science and STEM fields by integrating theoretical tools and empirical methods for an educated approach to data analysis, scientific experimentation, use of simulation tools in scientific inference and forecasting, as well as evaluation of evidence for policy purposes. The uniqueness of the Master’s training offer is linked to three aspects: The integration of courses on advanced data analysis and inferential techniques (machine learning, deep learning, AI), as well as tutorials on some of the most widespread data processing tools (Python, STATA, R, Matlab), with courses dedicated to the foundations of the scientific method, epistemology, and philosophy of science. A particular focus is directed towards the theoretical foundations of the scientific methods. Emphasis on the distinction between pure “truth-conducive” aims and strategic goals at play in scientific practice. Formal analysis of strategic interactions in the scientific ecosystem as well as political and economic analysis of science in society. Identification of the various scientific sub-systems (scientific, governmental, socio-economic institutions and society at large) and their joint work within broader socio-economic structures. Policy-making and the role of scientific evidence in decision-making, both personal and collective, with particular attention to the debate on the so-called “Evidence-based policy” and the related political and civil implications. The Master is aimed at students and scholars from both the human sciences and STEM disciplines, but also at professionals who want to enrich their skills in the field of data analysis, science epistemology, and evidence-based policy. The master is fully in English and takes one year to complete. The master allows for enrollment as a regular student or an auditor. Regular students are required to attend 70% of the lectures in person and receive a master degree after successful completion of the program.

LEARNING OUTCOMES The first year of the course is mainly devoted to equipe students with background postgraduate knowledge of both economics and quantitative techniques. One the one hand, students will learn some of the workhorse basic models that form the core of modern applied microeconomics and macroeconomics; one the other hand, students will receive a solid background in mathematics for economics, statistical modelling, optimization techniques and programming skills (Paython and R). In the second year students will deepen their understanding of some markets like energy, health and financial ones and they will expand their quantitative toolbox by attending courses in risk management, economic policy evaluation and big data techniques. The economics and management taught courses will complement the theoretical analysis with real world applications of various quantitative techniques (econometrics, agent-based-models, etc.). At the end of the course EDS students will have the ability to understand complex economic and financial phenomena and to analyze them in a data-driven logic. EDS has close links with both public and private firms and organizations. Hence, students are strongly encouraged to apply for internships positions during their second year. A number of Erasmus positions are also available. Writing up a Master Dissertation is a prerequisite for receiving the degree. The Dissertation can also be written as part of an internship position.

The course aspires to train professional figures for a career in the socio-economic field as well as in the legal or the international relations fields, including cooperation for development and geo-politics, planning, analysis, and public health. Examples of professional profiles consistent with the Master are positions of high responsibility in the field of cooperation for human and social development, of volunteering and in the third sector within national and international bodies and organizations, including non-governmental ones, as well as educational institutions, institutions in the field of social, cultural, economic, legal and health cooperation, both for managerial positions and highly specialized consultancy and planning posts. The added value of this MSc lies in encouraging a global vision of migratory phenomena, with an approach that goes beyond the traditional approach of linguistic and cultural mediation. The understanding of the migration phenomenon is enhanced by studying and analyzing problems related to the development of human, social and economic issues both in the countries of origin and in the countries of destination. This interdisciplinary approach is developed through the direct involvement of professors, scholars, and practitioners in the field of anthropology, law, economics, political sciences, health sciences, and sociology, whose, collectively, provide a theoretical and practical approach that allows creating appropriate skills to understand, manage and regulate migratory flows in the perspective of human and sustainable development. This MSc takes advantage of strategic partnerships that Sapienza maintains with international organizations (UNHCR, IOM, and the UN Rome Based Agencies), Ministries (first of all, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation; Ministry of the Interior-Department of Freedom Civil Society), think tanks, study centers, and research centers, non-profit organizations, agencies and organizations of the Civil Society (CSOs). The aim is to strengthen the proposed curricula and to guarantee students a complete and comprehensive view of the topics addressed, projecting them at the core of the issues with testimonials and practical experiences. Lectures and meetings with experts and practitioners of the sector constitute the added value of the Master that is unique thanks to its combination of theoretical notions and practical foundations. The exchange with professors, lecturers, scholars, operators, practitioners, and experts from institutions with which Sapienza has stipulated such partnerships guarantees comprehensive training on migration issues, strengthening both the theoretical and practical skills of participants.
