2.Michael Neugart（德国教授）《高级宏观经济学Ⅱ》教学大纲：
Agent-Based Computational Economics
_ Course instructor: Prof. Dr. Michael Neugart, Technical University
of Darmstadt, Germany, e-mail: neugart@vwl.tu-darmstadt.dt
_ Short description: By the end of the course participants will know
how to build their own agent-based models using RePast { a simulation
platform using JAVA as a programming language.
_ Course description: Due to the advances made in computer sciences
and the availability of high performance computers at relatively low
cost, simulation models have become more popular in economics and
more generally in the social sciences. Agent-based modeling is a partic-
ular type of computational approach that helps researchers to analyze
real world phenomena in an arti_cial world that is populated with in-
teracting heterogenous agents. Generally, the aim of these models is
to study emergent macroscopic phenomena starting from a deliberate
micro-foundation in a bottom up approach. These simulation models
are applied to various sub-disciplines of the social sciences. In this
course participants will be taught how to use RePast as a simulation
environment so that they will be able to build their own agent-based
models at the end of the course. To that end some basic knowledge
in JAVA programming has to be acquired. Afterwards, participants
will learn how to program a agent-based model in RePast including
Graphical User Interfaces, Batch Runs and the like.
_ Prerequisites: No programming experience is required but obviously
it is helpful.
_ Technical equipment: As the aim of the course is to learn how to
build an agent-based model so that you can start doing your own re-
search it would be helpful to bring your own notebook on which to
install all the software necessary. In this case, you already have all the
things on your laptop which you need to start for building your own
models.

3.Attilio Mucelli（意大利副教授）《会计信息系统研究》教学大纲：、
Title of the course:
Management control: the Budgeting process in SMEs
 
Objectives of the course:
The course aims to analyze the role of budgeting in the management control systems of the SMEs. In particular, the course will help to understand the issues involved to implement the budget in a Company with a focus on the strengths and weaknesses of the tool. To better understand the issues related to the construction of the budget, during the course some case studies will be carried out.
 
Structure of the course:
1. Planning and budgeting: an introduction
  • Differences between the concepts of Strategic Planning – Budgeting – Control
  • Strategic Objectives Vs. Budget Objectives
  • The “tools” of the Strategic Planning and the “tools” of the Budgeting
  • The Budget: a definition
  • A Budget’s characteristics
  • Functions of a Budget
  • Main Types of Budgets
-   Operating Budgets
-   Investment Budgets
-   Financial Budgets
  • The complete Budget Plan
  • The Budgeting process
  • Timing the Budget
  • A Flexible Budget
  • The results of a Research Project on the “Budget System in the Italian Companies”
 
2. Operating budget
  • The Sales Area Budget
-   Sales Budget
-   Trading Costs Budget
  • The Production Budget
-   Budget of Quantities to be produced
-   Production Costs Budget
-   Budget for Purchasing Materials and Human Resource
-   Budget for the other Areas
  •  Two Quantitative Case Studies will be developed
 
3. Investment budget
  • Investment budget: a definition
  • The features of investment budget
  • The procedures of investment budget
  • An example of investment budget
