Finanza per tutti (POK)

Offered by Politecnico di Milano,
Finanza per tutti (POK)

Trovi difficile decidere come investire i tuoi risparmi? Le differenze fra azioni e obbligazioni non ti sono per nulla chiare? Quando vai in banca ti sembra che il tuo consulente finanziario parli un’altra lingua? Con questo corso ti aiuteremo a districarti nella giungla della finanza.

La finanza è ormai parte integrante della vita quotidiana. L’apertura di un conto corrente, decidere come investire i propri risparmi, la necessità di chiedere un prestito o un finanziamento.

Lo scopo del corso è quello di fornirti tutti gli strumenti necessari per affrontare queste (e altre) scelte con cognizione di causa, soprattutto avendo ben chiari quali sono i possibili rischi e le insidie che potresti trovarti a fronteggiare. Il rischio infatti è insito nella vita quotidiana e nel mondo della finanza, ma, attraverso questo corso, imparerai a conoscerlo meglio.
Nel nostro percorso ti proponiamo quindi di affrontare le principali questioni finanziarie, da come scegliere un mutuo, a come investire i tuoi risparmi, a come confrontarti con la tua banca, partendo dai concetti finanziari di base.

Behavioral Finance (Coursera)

We make thousands of decisions every day. Do I cross the road now, or wait for the oncoming truck to pass? Should I eat fries or a salad for lunch? How much should I tip the cab driver? We usually make these decisions with almost no thought, using what psychologists call “heuristics” – rules of thumb that enable us to navigate our lives. Without these mental shortcuts, we would be paralyzed by the multitude of daily choices.
