'Because She Never Let Them In': Irish Immigration a Century Ago and Today
(2014)
Ó Gráda, Cormac
'Because She Never Let Them In': Irish Immigration a Century Ago and Today
(2014)
Ó Gráda, Cormac
Abstract:
A century ago, and for most of the twentieth century, Ireland was a land of emigration, not immigration. However, in the space of less than a decade in the 2000s, Ireland was transformed from a homogeneous community, where non-native residents were in a very small minority, to one in which one-sixth of its inhabitants are foreign-born. The paper will compare immigration and attitudes towards immigrants in the very different Irelands of a century ago and of the present.

'The Last, the Most Dreadful Resource of Nature’: Economic-historical Reflections on Famine
(2016)
Ó Gráda, Cormac
'The Last, the Most Dreadful Resource of Nature’: Economic-historical Reflections on Famine
(2016)
Ó Gráda, Cormac
Abstract:
The lecture paper focuses on some topics that remain current in famine studies. First, it reviews the link between food prices and the severity of famines as reflected in excess mortality. Second, it places the death tolls from several recent famines in sub-Saharan Africa in historical context. Third, it reviews the impact of famines on fertility. Famines are always associated with a reduction in births; but to what extent are those births lost or births postponed? Fourth, it reviews the literature that invokes famines as a testing ground for the foetal origins hypothesis. Finally, it reviews the prospect of a near future in which famines have been consigned to history.

‘Cast back into the Dark Ages of Medicine’? The Challenge of Antimicrobial Resistance
(2015)

‘Cast back into the Dark Ages of Medicine’? The Challenge of Antimicrobial Resistance
(2015)
Ó Gráda, Cormac
Abstract:
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is currently the focus of much media attention and policy discussion. A historical perspective on AMR suggests that although the challenge of AMR is real, the doomsday tone of most commentary is unwarranted. That is partly because most of the gains in life expectancy now deemed under threat preceded the antibiotics revolution. A combination of public health measures, rising living standards, and new medical knowledge all played their part in this. Even if AMR increases, the continuing effect of these factors and of new public health measures can limit the negative consequences. Moreover, recent developments suggest that the supply pipeline of new drugs is not quite as dry as usually claimed. The problem for now is not MRSA or malaria but carbapenem-resistant gram-negative bacteria, which pose an urgent threat and on which public funding for research on effective new therapies should concentrate.

Adam Smith and Amartya Sen : markets and famines in pre-industrial Europe
(2008)
Ó Gráda, Cormac
Abstract:
How markets perform during famines has long been a contentious issue. Recent research tends to associate famine with market segmentation and hoarding. The evidence of this paper, based on an analysis of the spatial and temporal patterns of price movements during four famines in preindustrial Europe, is that markets functioned ‘normally’ in times of crisis.

Adam Smith, Watch Prices, and the Industrial Revolution

Adam Smith, Watch Prices, and the Industrial Revolution
(2015)
Kelly, Morgan; Ó Gráda, Cormac
Abstract:
Although largely absent from modern accounts of the Industrial Revolution, watches were the first mass produced consumer durable, and were Adam Smith’s pre-eminent example of technological progress. In fact, Smith makes the notable claim that watch prices may have fallen by up to 95 per cent over the preceding century; a claim that this paper attempts to evaluate. We look at changes in the reported value of over 3,200 stolen watches from records of criminal trials in the Old Bailey court in London from 1685 to 1810. Before allowing for quality improvements we find that the real price of watches in nearly all categories falls steadily by 1.3 per cent per year, equivalent to a fall of 75 per cent over a century, a rate considerably above the growth rate of average labour productivity in British industry in the early nineteenth century.

Agricultural output, calories and living standards in England before and during the Industrial Revolution
(2012)
Kelly, Morgan; Ó Gráda, Cormac
Abstract:
This paper surveys the results of four recent, separate attempts at estimating agricultural output and food availability in England and Wales at points between the Middle Ages and the Industrial Revolution. It highlights their contrasting implications for trends in economic growth and nutritional status over time. It also offers some suggestions aimed at narrowing gaps between the evidence and how it has been interpreted.

Artisanal Skills, Watchmaking, and the Industrial Revolution: Prescot and Beyond
(2019)
Cummins, Neil; Ó Gráda, Cormac
Abstract:
The role of skills and human capital during England’s Industrial Revolution is the subject of an old but still ongoing debate. This paper contributes to the debate by assessing the artisanal skills of watchmakers and watch tool makers in southwest Lancashire in the eighteenth century and their links to apprenticeship. The flexibility of the training regime and its evolution are discussed, as is the decline of the industry.

Brain Drain and Brain Gain in Italy and Ireland in the Age of Mass Migration

Brain Drain and Brain Gain in Italy and Ireland in the Age of Mass Migration
(2019)
Gomellini, Matteo; Ó Gráda, Cormac
Abstract:
Emigrants from Italy and Ireland contributed disproportionately to the Age of Mass Migration. That their departure improved the living standards of those they left behind is hardly in doubt. Nevertheless, a voluminous literature on the selectivity of migrant flows— both from sending and receiving country perspectives—has given rise to claims that migration generates both ‘brain drains’ and ‘brain gains’. On the one hand, positive or negative selection among emigrants may affect the level of human capital in sending countries. On the other hand, the prospect of emigration and return migration may both spur investment in schooling in source countries. This essay describes the history of emigration from Italy and Ireland during the Age of Mass Migration from these perspectives.
