This course examines the foundational principles of economics – spanning microeconomics, macroeconomics, and organizational economics – through the lens of climate change and sustainability. It is designed to equip MBA students with the tools of economic analysis while demonstrating how climate change is reshaping economic decision-making for consumers, firms, and policymakers. We will begin with core economic concepts and progressively weave in key climate related topics such as carbon pricing, green finance, sustainable business strategy, and climate policy. By exploring these contemporary issues, students will learn how climate change creates new economic challenges and opportunities, from pricing externalities and incentivizing innovation to measuring economic progress beyond GDP. The course emphasizes both business and policy perspectives: students will analyze how businesses can adapt and thrive in a carbon-constrained world, and how economic policy can address climate change. Overall, the course is engaging, rigorous, and relevant, preparing students to apply economic reasoning to one of the most critical issues of our time.

The International Business Law course is a course aimed at introducing IPAG’s Master degree students to the main legal figures and topics that concern the establishment and the operations of businesses from an international perspective. Although it is not addressed to students with prior legal background, it is a law course and as such it does require from students to make the effort to integrate the proper legal language and knowledge. The course has been devised as an introduction to business law for non-lawyers. It is premised on the idea that the law is a key part in the life of every business and that it has a role at all levels inside a company. The law is not and should not be seen as the exclusive domain of work for internal and external legal counsel but as a field that connects to others at multiple levels. Accordingly, a basic understanding of the law applying to business is beneficial for all members of staff, from entry levels to top executives.
