A comparison of the principal economic features of Eire and Denmark
(1944)
Beddy, J. P.
A comparison of the principal economic features of Eire and Denmark
(1944)
Beddy, J. P.
Abstract:
Denmark is not only a smaller country than Eire but her climate is less equable, her soils are, in general, lighter and poorer, she has no coal and no water power to compensate for its absence, nor has she any iron ore or other metallic ores to serve as a basis for industrial activities. Yet, in comparison with Eire, she has a bigger population, a greater agricultural output, a more extensive industrial system, a larger foreign trade, a lower national debt, a higher national income and a better standard of living. It is the purpose of this paper to tlnow some light on this unusual economic paradox.

A political economy of tax expenditures for the audiovisual industries in Ireland: a cultural policy research perspective on section 481

A political economy of tax expenditures for the audiovisual industries in Ireland: a cultural policy research perspective on section 481
(2020)
O'Brien, Maria
Abstract:
This thesis interrogates the notion of a national cinema/national industry in contemporary times. It explores the concept of cultural/industrial policy towards the audiovisual industries in Ireland. It specifically focuses on Section 481, a measure that incentivises audiovisual production through the provision of a tax expenditure. This expenditure is a cornerstone of the audiovisual production industries, granting a generous 32 per cent tax relief on eligible spend. Consequently, it is now a significant part of the funding structures for various forms of audiovisual production, including national and international film and TV productions. Through a policy research approach, this thesis examines the complexity of funding national cultural production in an environment that is increasingly global/transnational, interrogating the notion of the commodification of the nation-space within the context of the supranational framework of the European Union (EU). Given Ireland’s EU membership,...

A very political project: Charles Haughey, social partnership and the pursuit of an Irish economic miracle, 1969-92
(2020)
O'Connor, Philip
Abstract:
“Social Partnership” was the corporatist socio-economic governance system that functioned in Ireland 1987-2012. It is studied primarly from a political-economic perspective, focusing on problems of classification, e.g. whether it conformed to Keynesian “policy concertation” or “competitive corporatism”, or represented “networked policy making”, “advocacy coalition” or a functionalist co-opting of dissent. Economists question its impact on Ireland’s economic transformation, and comparative analyses find many aspects of it rendering it an “outlier”. Most studies concur that if not quite sui generis, it awaits explanation in domestic political terms. Few have examined its political dynamics or interaction in party-political conflict. These are the aims of this thesis. The absense of such an analysis is partly due to a poverty of sources. This thesis gained unique access to archives of key decision-making partnership bodies, including the NESC, the “Central Review Committee” (in D/T...

A way forward: the future of Irish and European Union financial regulation
(2019)
Ahuja, Rishi; Barrett, Sean; Corbet, Shaen; Larkin, Charles
Abstract:
The Irish financial crisis through the period between 2008 and 2012 caused unprecedented damage to the national economy while generating substantial inequality and demographic issues through the austerity measures that followed. While large amounts of taxation has gone towards understanding the events leading up to the crisis, there has not been a concentrated effort to consolidate the lessons learned within the Irish context. This paper seeks to fill that gap, providing an overview of the key lessons learned from the Irish experience of the European financial crisis. First, we interrogate the domestic response and evaluate the immediate government intervention and longer-term investigation process through the national Banking Inquiry commissioned by the Irish government. Second, we focus on the broader domestic policy lessons learned from the crisis. Lastly, we briefly evaluate some of key changes in European policy that will in turn shape the future of Irish regulatory policy. We ...

Acting Now While Preparing for Tomorrow: Competitiveness upgrading under the shadow of COVID-19
(2020)
Clinch, J. Peter; Ketels, Christian
Abstract:
This paper aims to provide policy makers, especially those focused on the longer-term growth potential of their countries, with an initial framework to think about their action priorities in the context of the overall COVID-19 response. Our focus is on the supply-side, microeconomic, and firm-centric response to the virus and its economic repercussions, a dimension that, in our view, needs to be added to the public health and macroeconomic issues currently dominating the debate. We argue that, for the approach towards partial re-opening of economies to be effective in reviving economic activity, public health measures need to be accompanied by a microeconomic toolkit. China’s economic data suggests that a full recovery is not automatic even when restrictions are removed, and the US evidence suggests that the degree of economic slowdown by state is not simply a function of the public health restrictions put in place. A large set of microeconomic barriers, from disrupted supply chains...

Adjusting from war to peace in 1940s Britain

Adjusting from war to peace in 1940s Britain
(1993)
Crafts, N. F. R.
Abstract:
Most assessments of British economic policy in the transition from war to peace after 1945 praise the strategy adopted. This paper draws on recent growth theory and analysis of eastern European liberalisation to argue that British policy was seriously flawed. In particular, a heavy price was paid for the social contract and delayed liberalisation in the 1945-55 period in terms of subsequent growth and productivity performance. Policy choices, notably with regard to taxation and industrial relations, were, however, heavily constrained by political circumstances.

An Agenda for a New Ireland
(2010)
COLLINS, MICHEAL; Healy, Sean; Reynolds, Brigid
Abstract:
This Review presents a narrative outlining what happened over recent decades to bring Ireland to where it is today, where exactly Ireland finds itself now, where Ireland should go into the future and what it needs to do to get there. It goes on to address key policy areas, present a detailed analysis and propose policy initiatives that are required to develop an Ireland that is sustainable, equitable and a desirable place in which to live. This Review does not accept many of the assumptions and analysis that underpin much of the commentary in public and policy-making arenas in recent times. The scale and severity of the crises in which Ireland finds itself raise obvious questions regarding how they occurred. This Review provides a commentary on the background to these events. It addresses questions about recovery from these crises and more importantly how we can shape a future Ireland that cares for the well-being of all its people and protects the environment.

An investigation into the impacts of adopting HIT-related EHRs/EMRs on Saudi healthcare systems among private and public hospitals: a comparative analysis
(2018)
Aljohani, Ahmad
Abstract:
In the last decade, healthcare in Saudi Arabia has been significantly improving. This has been accompanied by advancements in the field of Information and Communications Technology (ICT). In particular, Saudi Arabia has seen the recent introduction of health information systems in healthcare organisations, namely, the Electronic Health Record System (EHRs) and the Electronic Medical Record System (EMRs). These systems offer a number of potential benefits, such as the reduction of medical costs; however, the health organisations in question face limitations when it comes to reaping these benefits, due to the challenges surrounding their implementation. In order to reduce these challenges, a high level of interoperability between different organisations’ systems is required. To make this possible, this study illustrates the applicability required regarding an adoption model for a unified health information system. Based on a review of the literature on the diffusion of innovation, the...

An investigation of the response of Irish food firms to the technological discontinuity caused by the emergence of new biotechnological techniques
(1993)
Kavanagh, Clare
Abstract:
New biotechnological techniques have been identified as a factor determining the future success of industries as diverse as healthcare and agriculture. They have the potential to revolutionise primary food production and food processing activities. The primary objective of this research was to investigate the response of the Irish food industry to the technological discontinuity caused by the emergence of new biotechnological techniques. A three phase methodology was developed to achieve this objective. Phase one involved exploratory research of expert opinion to assist the development of a research design specifically tailored to the unique features of the Irish food industry in the context of the applications of new biotechnological techniques. The second phase involved extensive primary research of identified potential early adopters of new biotechnological techniques. Pivotal response factors investigated were: firms' technological capacity to apply the techniques, strateg...

An urban political ecology of Bangkok's awful traffic congestion
(2020)
Marks, Danny
Abstract:
Urban political ecology (UPE) can contribute important insights to examine traffic congestion, a significant social and environmental problem underexplored in UPE. Specifically, by attending to power relations, the production of urban space, and cultural practices, UPE can help explain why traffic congestions arises and persists but also creates inequalities in terms of environmental impacts and mobility. Based on qualitative research conducted in 2018, the article applies a UPE framework to Bangkok, Thailand, which has some of the world's worst congestion in one of the world's most unequal countries. The city's largely unplanned and uneven development has made congestion worse in a number of ways. Further, the neglect of public transport, particularly the bus system, and the highest priority given to cars has exacerbated congestion but also reflects class interests as well as unequal power relations. Governance shortcomings, including fragmentation, institutional ine...

Boom and bust: economic voting in Ireland
(2017)
Reidy, Theresa; Suiter, Jane; Breen, Michael
Abstract:
The global financial crisis and economic collapse in countries across the world presents new challenges for economic voting models. While there is a consensus that economic voting exists, even the most ardent supporters will agree that it is a variable force and can only explain a portion of voting behaviour (Lewis-Beck 2007). However, when changes in economic circumstances are life altering, the impact is likely to be far greater. This paper explores the asymmetry effects of boom and bust economics on voting patterns at Irish national elections from 2002 – 2011, a period which contains three elections with the most recent in 2011 being the third most volatile in European post-war history (Mair 2012). Drawing on the Stegmaier and Lewis-Beck (2011) framework, the paper investigates asymmetric economic voting as a force at routine and crisis elections. Ireland presents a fascinating case study in the examination of economic voting in times of crisis. Indeed, the scale of the political...

Building a World-Class System in Ireland’s Financial Crisis
(2011)
Hazelkorn, Ellen
Abstract:
Irish higher education faces particular difficulties given the severity of its economic crisis. Like other countries, it is engaged in significant system restructuring coupled with managed policy direction. Where Ireland does differ is in its emphasis on a 'whole of country strategy' and commitment that teaching and research go hand-in-hand. This paper looks at the fortunes and mis-fortunes of Irish higher education.

Can rational expectations sticky-price models explain inflation dynamics?

Can rational expectations sticky-price models explain inflation dynamics?
(2008)
Whelan, Karl; Rudd, Jeremy
Abstract:
The canonical inflation specification in sticky-price rational expectations models (the new-Keynesian Phillips curve) is often criticized for failing to account for the dependence of inflation on its own lags. In response, many studies employ a “hybrid” specification in which inflation depends on its lagged and expected future values, together with a driving variable such as the output gap. We consider some simple tests of the hybrid model that are derived from its closed form. We find that the hybrid model describes inflation dynamics poorly, and find little empirical evidence for the type of rational, forward-looking behavior that the model implies.

Corporate tax and location choice for multinational firms
(2017)
Lawless, Martina; McCoy, Daire; Morgenroth, Edgar L.W.; O’Toole, Conor M.
Abstract:
The corporate tax rate and regime are policy instruments that are the subject of considerable attention for the role they play in attracting foreign multinationals making location decisions across countries. This paper examines the effects of corporate tax on these location decisions of newly established multinational subsidiaries across 26 European countries over an eight year period. We contribute to the existing literature by examining the effects of a non-linear response of firm location decisions to changes in the tax rate. We find that accounting for this nonlinearity improves the performance of the model for all of the alternative measures of the tax rate. We also show that there are large variations in the sensitivity to tax rates across sectors and firm size groups. In particular, financial sector firms are more than twice as sensitive to changes in corporation tax rates relative to other sectors.

Corruption and support for economic reform in sub-Saharan Africa
(2019)
Breen, Michael; Gillanders, Robert; Mahmalat, Mounir
Abstract:
We explore the relationship between experiences of corruption and support for economic reform in sub-Saharan Africa. We find that the relationship varies across three rounds of the Afrobarometer survey. Examining each round separately, we find that in the first round the local intensity of bribery is correlated with support for reform. In the second round an individual’s own experience of bribery matters, while in the third round neither variable is important. Estimating our model on pooled data suggests that an individual’s own experience of corruption is associated with less support for reform on average. However, we present evidence that this association is only present in the second round. These findings point to a changing relationship which may reflect rapid development in the region, including economic growth, inward investment, and the diffusion of technology. Our key contribution is to demonstrate that policy recommendations based on an analysis of one round of data or pool...

Corruption, Institutions and Regulation
(2015)
Breen, Michael; Gillanders, Robert
Abstract:
We analyze the effects of corruption and institutional quality on the quality of business regulation. Our key findings indicate that corruption negatively aspects the quality of regulation and that general institutional quality is insignificant once corruption is controlled for. These findings hold over a number of specifications which include additional exogenous historical and geographic controls. The findings imply that policy-makers should focus on curbing corruption to improve regulation, over wider institutional reform.

Economic Management in Ireland Post-EMU: A Trade Union Perspective
(1999)
O'Riordan, Manus
Abstract:
The end of the 1990s has seen the Irish economy exposed as never before. But the 1990s has also seen the Irish economy grow as never before. Clearly the challenges of openness can only be met and confronted if the circumstances which created the possibilities for such growth are not just replicated but are further refined and more firmly rooted. It should also be recognised that to ensure such an outcome is as much a socio-political challenge as it is an economic one.

Economic management in Ireland post-EMU: Ireland?s potential within EMU
(1999)
Geoghegan, Brian
Abstract:
A tendency to seriousness is not usually a characteristic associated with the Irish but our national image may be in the process of being redefined as we treat the management of success with almost as much caution and worry as we did the management of the crises of the past. The economy has outperformed all the prognostications ? the Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI), damned at the time for being over optimistic in its medium-term review, was, as it turned out, far too cautious; the emigration problem has been reversed; standards of living are close to EU average; employment is booming; public finance surpluses are forecast for a number of years and business confidence remains high even if we are at the cusp of this extraordinary period. As we assess the implications of the new monetary and exchange rate straightjacket for our booming economy, it is right that serious reflection be given to the appropriate policy mix for economic management.

Economic management in Ireland post-EMU: policy implications of globalisation and regionalisation
(1999)
Bradley, John
Abstract:
In today?s increasingly globalised economy, it is something of a paradox that while policy-making autonomy is being progressively ceded by states to supranational organisations, regions within nation states have also begun to assert their rights to a greater degree of administrative and policy self-determination. However, just as the exercise of certain types of policy autonomy in the past for small states like Ireland was not always without problems, policy integration of regions into nation states ? such as Scotland and Northern Ireland ? has not necessarily provided them with guaranteed participation in the prosperity of other richer regions within their nation state.
