3rd sinn fein party - 1923-1926
(1970)
Pyne, P
3rd sinn fein party - 1923-1926
(1970)
Pyne, P
Abstract:
The Republican party that was organized under the name 'Sinn Fein' after the end of the civil war, while initially relatively successful, failed to obtain the majority support essential, not only for the implementation of its policies, but for its survival as a major political force. Suddenly and unexpectedly, within a year of its foundation, the party began to decline. Membership dropped, funds became increasingly scarce and party successes in by-elections and local elections were few.

3rd-sinn fein party - 1923-1926
(1969)
Pyne, P
Abstract:
The recent commemoration of the fiftieth anniversaries of the Easter Rising and the meeting o f the First Dail firearm have done much to focus attention on this stormy watershed of modern Irish history and politics. The Civil War, for so long a topic of polemical argument, is becoming the subject o f serious study and unbiased analysis. So far, however, remarkably little original research has been undertaken in the shadowy area of history and politics stretching from the end of the Civil War to the emergence of Fianna Fail as a constitutional opposition party in Leinster House. The history of the post-1923 era obviously needs a considerable amount of research of a primary sort; and on top of that, additional synthesis in order to put the raw material in proper arrangement and perspective.

A bayesian look at consumption
(1982)
Honohan, P
Abstract:
Precis: This paper assesses various possible explanations for savings behaviour in Ireland during the 1960s and 1970s. Attempts to discriminate between these rival hypotheses have been hampered by multicollinearity. This problem is tackled here by the addition of prior information along Bayesian lines, using the "contract curve" framework recently suggested by Leamer.

A choice experiment versus a contingent valuation approach to agri-environmental policy valuation

A choice experiment versus a contingent valuation approach to agri-environmental policy valuation
(2011)
Hynes, Stephen; Campbell, Danny; Howley, Peter
Abstract:
The non-market value accruing from an agri-environmental scheme can be examined by assessing the public's willingness to pay for the policy outputs as a whole or by modelling the preferences of society for the component attributes of the rural landscape that result from the implementation of the policy. In this paper we examine if the welfare impacts from implementing an agri-environmental policy are significantly different if one uses a holistic valuation methodology such as contingent valuation or an attribute based valuation methodology such as choice experiments. It is argued that the valuation methodology chosen should be based on whether or not the overall objective is the valuation of the agri-environment policy package in its entirety or the valuation of each of the policy's distinct environmental outputs.

A class apart: The relevance of the EU Preventive Restructuring Directive for small and medium enterprises

A class apart: The relevance of the EU Preventive Restructuring Directive for small and medium enterprises
(2020)
McCarthy, Jonathan
Abstract:
This article critically evaluates the significance of the recent EU Preventive Restructuring Directive for small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Considering the prevalence of SMEs across European economies, it stands to reason that the policy objectives of the Directive were grounded in facilitating the accessibility of restructuring and rescue procedures for such enterprises. However, there is a risk that the very distinct considerations involved in SME restructuring cases could be disregarded by the approach espoused within the Directive. The article proceeds to set out the procedural aspects of the Directive in respect of their putative suitability for the needs of SMEs. Class formation, confirmation of restructuring plans and creditor cram-downs are given particular attention since the Directive expressly includes safeguards for SMEs within these features of the Directive. The article assesses whether the preventive restructuring procedures envisaged by the Directive can t...

A comparative examination of healthcare use related to hearing impairment in Europe

A comparative examination of healthcare use related to hearing impairment in Europe
(2016)
O'Neill, Ciaran; Xiao, Mimi
Abstract:
Impaired health resulting from whatever source presents challenges to individuals and societies. These challenges can be presented in terms of an economic burden - costs and dis-utilities - that arise from the experience of and efforts to manage or resolve the health issue. Examining this burden can help us understand the magnitude and distribution of the burden within society, how it might impact different agents and what impact particular resource allocation decisions might have on these. An examination of the burden associated with impaired health can throw into sharp relief the interconnectedness of different budgets, for example, and how attempts to effect savings in one area can have unintended and potentially greater consequences in others.

A Comparison of the Appraisal Process for Auction and Private Treaty Residential Sales

A Comparison of the Appraisal Process for Auction and Private Treaty Residential Sales
(2010)
GURDGIEV, CONSTANTIN
Abstract:
This paper examines residential sale mechanisms from an appraisal perspective and empirically tests for differences in the valuation process for auctioned and private treaty sales. We test the hypothesis that agents use different criteria in preparing the guide prices for auctioned housing, with an element of under pricing in order to aid in the marketing of the property. The empirical tests are undertaken on a sample of auctioned and private treaty sales in Dublin, Ireland for the period of 1997-2004. We find that the evidence is consistent with the hypothesis that agents do adjust valuations for auctions to attract additional potential bidders.

A comparison of the bounds, beta-approximate, and exact variants of 2 tests for heteroscedasticity based on ordinary least-squares residuals
(1981)
Harrison, Mj
Abstract:
Precis: This paper compares the small sample empirical size, power and incidence of inconclusiveness of the bounds tests for heteroscedasticity proposed by Szroeter (1978) and Harrison and McCabe (1979). It also examines the performance of the exact and beta-approximate variants of the tests. Probabilities are computed numerically using both simulated and actual data and various heteroscedasticity specifications. No consistent power superiority of either test is found, although for the types of heteroscedasticity most commonly postulated in applied economics, Szroeter's test is the more powerful. On the other hand, Szroeter's test suffers from the higher incidence of inconclusiveness in all of the cases examined. Two-moment beta-approximations perform well compared with the exact tests. An example of the use of both bounds tests is given.

A comparison of the effects of decommissioning, catch quotas and mesh regulation in restoring a depleted fishery.
(2011)
Hillis, J. Paul; Wiium, Vilhjalmur
Abstract:
Possible means of rehabilitating the manY depleted fisheries in European waters now form a topic of great interest and relevance. This paper uses bioeconomic analysis to predict returns for the Irish Sea Nephrops fishery from rationalisation through three types of management regulations. These regulation measures are (a) decommissioning. i.e., reducing fleet size, (b) catch quotas while maintaining fleet size, and (c) mesh size regulation. The analysis clearly demonstrates the gains to be obtained from rationalising the Nephrops fishery. In addition. socio-economic implications of performance of the fisheries compared to potential profitability is extremely poor. Substantially improved returns would result frmn strong management control. However, trying to preserve social equity, while theoretically possible, would necessitate complicated cunstraints to the operation of the management system.

A complex systems approach to financial market analysis: Nonlinearity, regime shifts and early warning indicators

A complex systems approach to financial market analysis: Nonlinearity, regime shifts and early warning indicators
(2018)
Metadjer, Naoise
Abstract:
The history of financial markets over the past century points to the stylised fact that markets build up to a peak and then crash. Many of the standard methods for risk estimation and modelling of financial time series rely on the linear stochastic modelling framework. Under this approach, the interaction of market participants are assumed to be independent and, when taken on aggregate, cancel each other out. In order to better capture the build-up of risk in the financial system, the methods applied in this thesis allow for endogenous dynamical behaviour, caused by the complex interaction of market participants as they react and adapt to the trends and patterns they create at an aggregate level. Endogenous dynamics can lead to the build-up of instabilities in a complex system, pushing it closer to a critical threshold. When the critical point is reached, the system may abruptly switch between alternate equilibria. In effect, a regime shift occurs in the system. We investigate wh...

A Cost-Saving and Innovative Best-Practices Green IT Framework for Small
(2010)
McManus, Concepta
Abstract:
The notion of Green IT in a mirco, small or medium sized company (SME) is not well explored in current literature. The Green IT guidelines or the recommended activities outlined in literature are often more applicable to large organisations that have extensive resources to implement these Green initiatives. The purpose of this study was to develop a Green IT framework suitable for SMEs. In the process, the study sought to understand the levels of awareness of Green IT that currently exists among SMEs and find out about the current adoption rates of Green IT among SMEs. The study sought to also address potential barriers to and benefits of Green IT. Data was collected using three methods: observation, interviews and questionnaires. The study demonstrated that as of August 2009, the level of awareness among SMEs regarding Green IT is low. Just over half of the SMEs surveyed, admit to not knowing, what practices belong to the Green IT category. SMEs in general are slow to adopt Green I...

A GARCH Model of Inflation and Inflation Uncertainty with Simultaneous Feedback
(2010)
Fountas, Stilianos
Abstract:
We examine the relationship between inflation and inflation uncertainty using a GARCH model that allows for simultaneous feedback between the conditional mean and variance of inflation. We also derive a number of theoretical econometric results and illustrate the relevance of these results with an empirical example of the US monthly inflation process. Our results show that there is strong evidence in favour of a positive bi-directional relationship between inflation and inflation uncertainty in agreement with the predictions of economic theory.

A Geographical Information System approach to defining economic coastal zones in Ireland

A Geographical Information System approach to defining economic coastal zones in Ireland
(2011)
Hynes, Stephen; Farrelly, Niall
Abstract:
In order to develop a policy framework and guidelines for improving a national approach to the management of Irish coastal regions and associated resources one first needs to be able to define what is meant by 'a coastal region' in an Irish context and secondly to know how the socio-economic characteristics of Irish coastal populations differ from the national perspective. This paper contains a range of official socioeconomic statistics, from a range of existing statistical domains, compiled for the first time in terms of Irish coastal regions. These coastal regions are defined at a number of alternative levels of spatial aggregation. The compilation of such data is important when one considers the recommendations of the European Council and Parliament concerning the implementation of Integrated Coastal Zone Management and the requirements of policies such as Integrated Maritime Policy for the European Union and the EU Marine Framework Strategy Directive.

A Life-Cycle Model of Habitual Dependence in Leisure Demand

A Life-Cycle Model of Habitual Dependence in Leisure Demand
(2008)
GURDGIEV, CONSTANTIN
Abstract:
This model proposes an extension of the traditional habits in consumption literature to encompass the time-persistence of leisure demand. The model establishes a link between the habitual leisure and income effects, which amplifies the traditional effects on savings, investment and consumption distribution across periods. The disutility of habits stock varies with the strength of habit formation. At the same time, the wage elasticity of demand for leisure and the income elasticity of consumption are shown to be functions of the strength of habit formation. The model concludes that while habitual leisure captures the effects of persistence in leisure, it fails to reflect the time dependency properties of consumption. This warrants a new approach to modelling consumption and leisure demand that includes the possibility for time dependent and weakly inseparable consumption and leisure.

A measure of distance between judgment sets (Working paper no. 169)

A measure of distance between judgment sets (Working paper no. 169)
(2011)
Duddy, Conal; Piggins, Ashley
Abstract:
In the literature on judgment aggregation, an important open question is how to measure the distance between any two judgment sets. This is relevant for issues of social choice: if two individuals hold different beliefs then we might want to find a compromise that lies somewhere between them. We propose a set of axioms that determine a measure of distance uniquely. This measure differs from the widely used Hamming metric. The difference between Hamming's metric and ours boils down to one axiom. Given judgment sets A and B, this axiom says that if the propositions in A n B jointly imply that the propositions in A - B share the same truth value, then the disagreement between A and B over those propositions in A - B should be counted as a single disagreement. We consider the application of our metric to judgment aggregation, and also use the metric to measure the distance between preference rankings.

A micro economic investigation of Irish cattle farmer decisions in response to non-linear budget constraints
(2016)
McCormack, Michele
Abstract:
This thesis will examine the effects of policy developments on the Irish beef sector, with a particular focus on agricultural subsidy payments. As a member of the European Union, Irish agriculture is governed by the Common Agricultural Policy. This complex and extensive policy has undergone a number of reforms since it was initially implemented. Irish farmers have benefited both financially and structurally through many different income support and capital support schemes. This thesis is particularly interested in how historical subsidy payments, coupled to production, affected farmer behaviour by influencing the choices farmers made in relation to stocking rates on their farms. Payments that were linked to producing specific agricultural products or keeping specific animal types were highly regulated with upper limits on the number of eligible animals or acres. Where limits were reached, payment levels changed thus creating non-linear budget constraints. These non-linearities provi...

A Model for Regulatory Intervention in Irish Banking
(2010)
O'Sullivan, K.P.V.
Abstract:
The banking system is currently experiencing an unprecedented phase of regulatory transition in order to address persistent market failures. This paper documents the need for better regulation in Irish banking and presents a framework that incorporates the competitiveness, efficiency and stability of the banking system. It explores the potential application of the regulation impact assessment technique and proposes the adoption of a comprehensive planning, impact analysis, enforcement and reviewing (PIER) model to aid in the development and management of a robust and balanced regulatory environment.

A Model of Comprehensive Habits with Psychological Effects of Work Effort
(2004)
GURDGIEV, CONSTANTIN
Abstract:
This paper develops a neoclassical growth model under the assumption of comprehensive habits that incorporate both consumption and labour supply decisions of the households. We show that in presence of comprehensive habits, households will supply more labour than in case of no habits. In addition we consider two possible psychological links between the wage rate and the habits mechanism. We distinguish between satisfaction effect of work effort and status effect of work effort by creating an explicit positive and negative links between higher wages and the importance of labour supply relative to consumption in determination of comprehensive habits stock. We analyse the different results obtained in the model under this distinction.

A model of deliberative and aggregative democracy
(2011)
Perote Pena, Juan; Piggins, Ashley
Abstract:
We present a model of collective decision making in which voting and deliberation are treated simultaneously. Political theorists argue that public discussion can lead individuals to change their preferences. This aspect of democracy is typically ignored in models of social choice that focus exclusively on voting. In our model, individuals debate in a public forum and potentially revise their preferences in light of deliberation. Once this process is exhausted, a voting rule is applied to aggregate post-deliberation preferences into a social choice. Restricting attention to three alternatives, we identify conditions under which a democracy is truth-revealing in the sense that the deliberation path and the voting rule will always lead to the correct social choice being made, irrespective of the original profile of preferences and size of the electorate (provided the latter is finite). A critical parameter in the model is the persuasion cost. When this is low, a democracy is almost a...

A needs and resources assessment of fiscal equalisation in the Irish local government system
(2017)
Turley, Gerard; Flannery, Darragh; MvNena, Stephen
Abstract:
In 2000 the central government in Ireland introduced a formula-based needs and resources equalisation model in its local government system to ensure that the allocation of general purpose grants to local authorities was done in an equitable manner. However, the equalisation model is lacking in transparency, with few details publicly available as to its exact specification. Within this context, the purpose of this paper is to critically assess fiscal equalisation in Ireland s local government system. More specifically we address the question of whether general purpose equalisation grants bear any relation to expenditure needs and fiscal resources. We achieve this by estimating our own model based upon a number of indicators of potential need and available resources. We outline a number of alternative equalisation models based on different objective criteria, and compare the simulated allocations resulting from the alternative models to the actual general purpose grants, with a view ...

A new look at the irish land question

A new look at the irish land question
(1981)
Solow, Bl
Abstract:
Behind the land question in nineteenth century Ireland lie two different conceptions of property and hence of landlord-tenant relations. One reflects communal notions and stresses tenants' prescriptive rights; the other reflects the idea of private property and stresses economically efficient outcomes. They can be described by simple economic models. Each is associated with a concept of rent and of the appropriate rent-setting institutions. During the nineteenth century, Irish land law was remodelled from a basis in equity and natural law to new concepts of contract and economic development. Attempts to move landlord-tenant relations and rent-setting institutions in this direction were only partially successful, and both economic and political developments are seen as the outcome of the coexistence of both traditions and the struggle between them.
