The project “Engineering Economics and Financial Modeling: accounting-and-finance engineering system for the study of industrial projects” is aimed at exploring the intricate relationships between the economic and financial figures that characterize industrial projects and at studying the creation of mathematical models. The abstract models are meant, on one hand, to organize data and knowledge and, on the other hand, to further investigate through simulations and experiments. The tools used in this path are i) financial modeling and its implementation in spreadsheets, ii) sensitivity analysis, mainly with the “Finite Change Sensitivity Indices (FCSI)” methodology (Borgonovo 2010), iii) comparison of scenarios, with design and implementation of algorithms that feed mathematical models, iv) Split-Screen Matrix (Magni 2020), used to automate the model calculation engine, and v) linear programming, derived from the disciplines of operations research. Thanks to these tools, the research activity has made it possible to achieve several results in the fields of Engineering Economics, Finance and Accounting, including i) the development of new evaluation models, ii) the identification of new criteria for investment decisions, iii) the clarification of how operational estimates can affect financial decisions and iv) the ex-post decomposition of the decisions' effects, even in the different life periods of a project. The main application fields explored are the creation of value in photovoltaic systems (results exposed discussed in the conferences “37th EU PVSEC – European PV Solar Energy Conference, September 7-11, 2020” and “MIC2020 – 20th Management International Conference, November 12-15, 2020” and in an article published by the “International Journal of Production Economics”), the decomposition of added value in financial investments (results discussed in an article submitted to “European Journal of Operational Research”, under review), the use of the Split-Screen Matrix in financial modeling (with a methodology, aimed at defining an algorithmic system applicable in spreadsheets, which is being introduced in the companies of the GRAF Group) and economic optimization in a project to replace water meters (first results exposed at the “EURO2021 – 31st European Conference on Operational Research, July 11-14, 2021”).

Il progetto “Engineering Economics e Financial Modeling: sistema di ingegnerizzazione contabile-finanziaria per lo studio di progetti industriali” è volto all’esplorazione delle complesse relazioni tra le grandezze economiche e finanziarie che caratterizzano i progetti industriali e a studiare la creazione di modelli matematici che hanno lo scopo, da un lato, di organizzare i dati e le conoscenze e, dall’altro, di indagare ulteriormente attraverso simulazioni e sperimentazioni. Gli strumenti utilizzati in questo percorso sono i) la modellazione finanziaria e la sua implementazione in fogli di calcolo elettronici, ii) l’analisi di sensibilità, condotta principalmente con la metodologia dei “Finite Change Sensitivity Indices (FCSI)” (Borgonovo 2010), iii) il confronto di scenari, ottenuto grazie alla progettazione e implementazione di algoritmi che alimentano i modelli matematici, iv) la Split-Screen Matrix (Magni 2020), utilizzata per automatizzare il motore di calcolo dei modelli, e v) la programmazione lineare, mutuata dalle discipline della ricerca operativa. Grazie a questi strumenti, l’attività di ricerca ha consentito di raggiungere vari risultati nel campo dell’ingegneria economica, della finanza e della contabilità, tra cui i) lo sviluppo di nuovi modelli di valutazione, ii) l’individuazione di nuovi criteri per le decisioni di investimento, iii) l’esplicitazione di come le stime operative possano influire sulle decisioni finanziarie e iv) la scomposizione a posteriori degli effetti delle decisioni, anche nei diversi periodi di vita di un progetto. I principali campi applicativi esplorati sono la creazione di valore in impianti fotovoltaici (risultati esposti nei convegni “37th EU PVSEC – European PV Solar Energy Conference, September 7-11, 2020” e “MIC2020 – 20th Management International Conference, November 12-15, 2020” e in un articolo pubblicato da “International Journal of Production Economics”), la scomposizione del valore aggiunto negli investimenti finanziari (risultati discussi in un articolo sottoposto a “European Journal of Operational Research”, in corso di revisione), l’impiego della Split-Screen Matrix nella modellazione finanziaria (con una metodologia, volta a definire un sistema algoritmico applicabile nei fogli di calcolo, che si sta introducendo nelle aziende del Gruppo GRAF) e l’ottimizzazione economica in un progetto di sostituzione dei contatori dell’acqua (i cui primi risultati sono stati esposti nel convegno “EURO2021 – 31st European Conference on Operational Research, July 11-14, 2021”). Questa tesi di dottorato è strutturata come raccolta di articoli scientifici co-autorati durante il corso di dottorato.

Abstract
The project “Engineering Economics and Financial Modeling: accounting-and-finance engineering system for the study of industrial projects” is aimed at exploring the intricate relationships between the economic and financial figures that characterize industrial projects and at studying the creation of mathematical models. The abstract models are meant, on one hand, to organize data and knowledge and, on the other hand, to further investigate through simulations and experiments. The tools used in this path are i) financial modeling and its implementation in spreadsheets, ii) sensitivity analysis, mainly with the “Finite Change Sensitivity Indices (FCSI)” methodology (Borgonovo 2010), iii) comparison of scenarios, with design and implementation of algorithms that feed mathematical models, iv) Split-Screen Matrix (Magni 2020), used to automate the model calculation engine, and v) linear programming, derived from the disciplines of operations research. Thanks to these tools, the research activity has made it possible to achieve several results in the fields of Engineering Economics, Finance and Accounting, including i) the development of new evaluation models, ii) the identification of new criteria for investment decisions, iii) the clarification of how operational estimates can affect financial decisions and iv) the ex-post decomposition of the decisions' effects, even in the different life periods of a project. The main application fields explored are the creation of value in photovoltaic systems (results exposed discussed in the conferences “37th EU PVSEC – European PV Solar Energy Conference, September 7-11, 2020” and “MIC2020 – 20th Management International Conference, November 12-15, 2020” and in an article published by the “International Journal of Production Economics”), the decomposition of added value in financial investments (results discussed in an article submitted to “European Journal of Operational Research”, under review), the use of the Split-Screen Matrix in financial modeling (with a methodology, aimed at defining an algorithmic system applicable in spreadsheets, which is being introduced in the companies of the GRAF Group) and economic optimization in a project to replace water meters (first results exposed at the “EURO2021 – 31st European Conference on Operational Research, July 11-14, 2021”).
