Economics and Finance is a master's program taught in English at Luiss Libera Università Internazionale degli Studi Sociali Guido Carli, in Roma, Italy, with a duration of two years. This field combines advanced economic theory with the study of financial markets, institutions and instruments, preparing students to analyze both broad economic conditions and specific financial decisions. Students typically study microeconomics and macroeconomics at an advanced level, alongside coursework in corporate finance, asset pricing, financial econometrics and risk management. The discipline addresses how financial markets allocate capital, how asset prices are determined, and how economic conditions, including interest rates, inflation and monetary policy, influence financial decision-making at both the individual and institutional level. Quantitative and statistical methods generally form a significant part of the training, equipping students to build and interpret models used in financial analysis, forecasting and risk assessment. Coursework may also address international finance and macroeconomic policy, given how interconnected financial markets and national economies have become. Because the field combines theoretical economic reasoning with applied financial analysis, students generally develop skills relevant to both academic economic research and practical roles in financial markets and institutions. Graduates of economics and finance programs commonly pursue careers in investment banking, asset management, corporate finance, financial consulting and central banks or regulatory agencies, where quantitative and economic analysis skills are directly applicable. Others move into roles in risk management, financial technology or economic research, or continue into doctoral study in economics or finance. Studying economics and finance in English at an Italian university located in Roma provides an international setting for developing the analytical and quantitative skills central to careers in economic analysis and financial markets.
