Learning Objectives
The general objective of the Course is to provide the main tools for the study of agricultural economics and valuation.
At the end of the Course, students will learn the essential elements of rural economics and valuation and, thanks to the notions of financial mathematics taught, will be able to deal with the most common cases of rural appraisal.
Students will be able to :
- develop knowledge of issues relating to the role of economics and valuation in rural areas;
- deepen the theoretical and operational implications of the most relevant changes in rural areas;
- develop knowledge of the economic-estimative framework of the rural system, with particular reference to the national/regional one;
- provide the conceptual tools necessary to carry out economic and estimative analyses in the private and public spheres (environmental conservation in promoting rural and territorial development).

Learning Achievements (Dublin Descriptors)
Knowledge and understanding
By the end of the Course, students should be familiar with the main theoretical models of rural economics and their decline in practice, the estimation practice, and the related economic and institutional framework necessary to move within the rural territories and rural assets subject to estimation.
Applying knowledge and understanding
Students should be able to apply the fundamental concepts acquired during the Course, elaborate on them, and apply them to concrete cases referring to the rural context.
Autonomy of judgment
By the end of the Course, students should have acquired an excellent ability to analyse the topics covered and critically evaluate the policies and strategies proposed to address the main issues of the rural economy and rural valuation.
Communication skills
Students are expected to be able to communicate the concepts and knowledge they have learned precisely and with appropriate vocabulary and to link the knowledge acquired during the Course into unified and integrated schemes.
Learning skills
Students are expected to have the ability to undertake subsequent study paths and acquire new knowledge, skills, and abilities through professional and work experience in rural areas.
Teaching Material
The teaching material prepared by the lecturer in addition to recommended textbooks (such as for instance slides, lecture notes, exercises, bibliography) and communications from the lecturer specific to the course can be found inside the Moodle platform › blended.uniurb.it
Teaching, Attendance, Course Books and Assessment
- Teaching
The Course involves the use of different teaching methods:
- lectures;
- seminars;
- group work and drafting of papers on specific topics by the students, subsequently presented and discussed in the classroom.
- Assessment
Evaluation is through an oral test lasting approximately 30 minutes, during which the student must demonstrate that he/she has acquired complete knowledge of the topics dealt with (on a theoretical and applicative level) during the Course, that he/she is able to express him/herself with an adequate vocabulary, and that he/she can carry out a critical analysis of the topics dealt with.
- Disabilità e DSA
Le studentesse e gli studenti che hanno registrato la certificazione di disabilità o la certificazione di DSA presso l'Ufficio Inclusione e diritto allo studio, possono chiedere di utilizzare le mappe concettuali (per parole chiave) durante la prova di esame.
A tal fine, è necessario inviare le mappe, due settimane prima dell’appello di esame, alla o al docente del corso, che ne verificherà la coerenza con le indicazioni delle linee guida di ateneo e potrà chiederne la modifica.
