Analysis of public policies: from design to impact assessment with attention to the role of nudging and incentives. Design, methods and case studies applied to interventions or innovative public policies in one or more of the following areas: reduction of inequality and poverty, investments in human capital, promotion of socially responsible behavior (for example: waste management, reduction of waste, sustainable mobility), local public policies also using geo-referenced data and examining spatial interdependencies. The training and research objective includes acquiring skills for the impact assessment of public policies, with a distinction between monitoring/accountability and impact assessment with counterfactual methods, and the application to case studies. The counterfactual evaluation can be accompanied by monitoring activities, aimed at accounting for how the resources have been used.
