Indicazioni per la tesi di laurea triennale in Economia Internazionale

Indicazioni per la tesi di laurea triennale in Economia Internazionale
Marianna Belloc
La tesi di triennale consiste in un elaborato su tema dell’economia internazionale o della politica
economica internazionale scelto nella lista (o concordato con il docente fuori dalla lista).
L’elaborato deve presentare il tema oggetto di analisi in modo chiaro e sintetico, e deve inoltre
contenere una rassegna critica dei più importanti lavori rilevanti presenti in letteratura. Il
materiale raccolto deve essere presentato in modo originale (cioè non scopiazzando). Questo
significa non riportare banalmente il contenuto di un paper dietro l’altro (e tanto meno nella
semplice traduzione dall’inglese all’italiano del lavoro altrui) ma, invece, organizzare un percorso
d’analisi critica. E’ possibile (anzi raccomandato) utilizzare tabelle riassuntive e figure. La
lunghezza della tesi non deve eccedere le 50 pagine (carattere 12, doppia interlinea) tutto incluso,
e deve seguire questo schema di massima:
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)
Abstract: breve presentazione del tema (massimo una pagina).
Indice con indicazione del numero di pagina.
Elaborato, suddiviso in capitoli, paragrafi, ecc.
Lista di riferimenti bibliografici in ordine alfabetico.
Lista di banche dati e siti consultati (se ci sono).
Indicazioni di carattere generale
•
Indirizzatemi richieste di tesi quando vi manca un esame (al limite due) al completamento
del vostro piano di studi, e/o quando mancano due mesi alla sessione in cui intendete
laurearvi. Non prima perché non avrei tempo da dedicarvi, dovendo seguire i vostri
colleghi che si devono laureare alla sessione precedente.
•
Il materiale per la tesi in questa materia è prevalentemente in inglese, non chiedetemi la
tesi se avete problemi nella lettura dell’inglese.
•
Vi suggerisco di fare la tesi in questa materia soltanto se il voto d’esame è pari o superiore
alla vostra media al momento in cui mi inoltrate la richiesta.
•
Sono necessarie nozioni base di econometria-statistica (oltre che di economia
internazionale, economia politica e politica economica).
•
Non saranno accettate tesine che ricalcano in modo troppo simile papers già pubblicati,
working papers, capitoli di libri, tesi di altri studenti, dispense, libri di testo, etc.
1
•
Leggerò l’elaborato una sola volta, quando questo sarà terminato. Concordate la struttura
con me per tempo e rileggete il lavoro attentamente prima di inviarmelo. Mi raccomando
l’ortografia (non leggerò tesine con errori di ortografia)!
•
Non bombardatemi di email. Scrivete solo se avete qualcosa da chiedere. Per piacere
email brevi e chiare. Indicare come titolo dell’email “tesi triennale” (non leggo email
senza titolo e/o non firmate).
Indicazioni relative ai riferimenti bibliografici
Riferimenti bibliografici nel testo
•
Per tutte le informazioni riportate nel testo della tesi deve essere indicata la fonte. Riportare
la fonte significa scrivere l’autore e l’anno di pubblicazione del lavoro.
Per esempio: “una crisi di bilancia dei pagamenti si presenta quando… (Krugman,
1979).” oppure “secondo Krugman (1979) una crisi di bilancia dei pagamenti si presenta
quando…”.
Il riferimento bibliografico completo va riportata nella lista dei riferimenti bibliografici alla
fine della tesi (vedi sotto).
•
Se vengono riportate frasi prese da paper già pubblicati, working paper, capitoli di libri, tesi
di altri studenti, dispense, libri di testo etc, esse devono essere messe fra virgolette; l’autore,
l’anno e il numero di pagina devono essere menzionati fra parentesi.
Per es. “Quando un governo non è più in grado di difendere una parità fissata a causa di
vincoli sulle azioni che può intraprendere, siamo in presenza di una ‘crisi’ della bilancia
dei pagamenti” (Krugman, 1979: p. 311)
•
Tabelle e figure, se riprese da altri lavori, devono riportare la fonte in nota (cioè, come sopra,
autore e anno oppure banca dati e anno).
Per es. OECD (2013)
Lista dei riferimenti bibliografici
Il riferimento bibliografico deve contenere:
- se si tratta di un articolo su rivista: autore, anno, titolo del lavoro, rivista, numero di pagine:
per es. Krugman, Paul, 1979. “A Model of Balance-of-Payments Crises”, Journal of
Money, Credit and Banking, Vol. 11, No. 3, pp. 311-325
2
- se si tratta di un capitolo su libro: autore, anno, titolo del lavoro, titolo del libro, editore, luogo
di pubblicazione, numero di pagine:
per es. Krugman, Paul, 1989. “Industrial organization and international trade”, in
Handbook of Industrial Organization, R. Schmalensee and R. Willig (ed.), Elsevier, New
York: pp. 1179-1223
- se si tratta di un libro: autore, anno, titolo del lavoro, titolo del libro, editore, luogo di
pubblicazione:
per es. Masahisa Fujita, Paul Krugman, Anthony J. Venables, 2001. “The Spatial
Economy: Cities, Regions, and International Trade”, MIT Press Books, Cambridge (UK),
vol. 1
Date un’occhiata al livello degli articoli riportato qui sotto prima di contattarmi per concordare
l’argomento.
Lista degli argomenti
La lista dei lavori citati per ogni argomento è indicativa. Il vostro lavoro consiste anche nella
ricerca di altro material rilevante. L’anno di pubblicazione potrebbe essere diverso da quello
indicato: mettete il titolo del lavoro in google e troverete la versione più aggiornata. Gli articoli
pubblicati su rivista possono essere scaricati da internet (direttamente dal sito della rivista) se
siete collegati ad un pc del Dipartimento di Economia e Diritto (per esempio dalla biblioteca o
dalla sala computer). La maggior parte del material non può essere scaricato da casa (perché
serve l’abbonamento).
