Indicazioni per la tesina di laurea triennale in Economia

Indicazioni per la tesina di laurea triennale in Economia Internazionale
Marianna Belloc
Indicazioni generali
La tesina 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 tesina non deve eccedere le 50
pagine (carattere 12, doppia interlinea) tutto incluso, e deve seguire questo schema di
massima:
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)
Indice con indicazione del numero di pagina.
Abstract: breve presentazione del tema (massimo una pagina).
Elaborato, suddiviso in sezioni, sottosezioni, etc.
Lista di riferimenti bibliografici in ordine alfabetico.
Lista di banche dati e siti consultati (se ci sono).
Nota bene
•
Indirizzatemi richieste di tesina 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 tesina in questa materia è prevalentemente in inglese, non
chiedetemi la tesi se avete problemi nella comprensione dell’inglese.
•
Sono necessarie nozioni base di econometria-statistica (oltre che di economia
internazionale, economia politica e politica economica).
1 •
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.
•
Se vengono riportate frasi prese da papers già pubblicati, working papers, capitoli
di libri, tesi di altri studenti, dispense, libri di testo etc, esse devono essere messe
fra virgolette; il lavoro di riferimento e la pagina devono essere menzionati fra
parentesi.
•
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 “tesina triennale”
(non leggo email senza titolo e/o non firmate).
Indicazioni per la lista di 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. Paul Krugman, 2009. “The Increasing Returns Revolution in Trade and
Geography”, American Economic Review, vol. 99(3): pp. 561-71
- 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 R., 1989. “Industrial
organization and international trade”, Handbook of Industrial Organization, R.
Schmalensee and R. Willig (ed.), Elsevier, New York: pp. 1179-1223

Date un’occhiata al livello degli articoli riportato qui sotto prima di contattarmi per
concordare l’argomento.
2 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).
