Alternative seasonal adjustment methods for aggregate Irish macroeconomic data
(2008)
McCarthy, Colm; Lawlor, John
Alternative seasonal adjustment methods for aggregate Irish macroeconomic data
(2008)
McCarthy, Colm; Lawlor, John
Abstract:
Three distinct strands can be identified in the literature on seasonality. Economists have long been interested in removing high-frequency "noise" from individual economic time series, or "deseasonalizing the data" in common parlance. The second strand, on which an extensive technical literature has been developed over recent decades, treats seasonality as just one element to be encompassed in multivariate dynamic time series modeling, while a final strand seeks to model the economics of seasonality as the outcome of maximizing behavior by producing and consuming agents. Direct and indirect approaches have been compared to the seasonal adjustment of Irish macroeconomic series published by the Central Statistics Office. The presumption in the literature is that the indirect method is likely to be preferred in most real-world situations, but it is an empirical question whether it makes any great practical difference. The results indicate that it makes a very big di...

Cross-border and local cooperation on the island of Ireland : an economic perspective

Cross-border and local cooperation on the island of Ireland : an economic perspective
(2010)
Roper, Stephen
Abstract:
Revised version of a paper presented at a study group meting in Newry, 13 September 2005, as part of the programme Mapping frontiers, plotting pathways: routes to North-South cooperation in a divided island.
Cross-border and local cooperation can foster local learning and contribute positively to business performance and social cohesion. This paper considers firms’ economic motivation for both types of cooperation around the Irish border. This area, while inevitably impacted by civil unrest in Northern Ireland, shares many of the economic and developmental characteristics of border areas throughout Europe. Simultaneous probit models are used to examine the determinants of cooperation. Overall, around a third of firms in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland engage in local cooperation of some form; around one in six in Northern Ireland and one in twelve in the Republic of Ireland also engage in cross-border cooperation. Proximity to the border, perceived barriers to cross...

Emigration and living standards in Ireland since the Famine

Emigration and living standards in Ireland since the Famine
(2010)
O'Rourke, Kevin H.
Abstract:
Ireland experienced dramatic levels of emigration in the century following the Famine of 1845–1849. The paper surveys the recent cliometric literature on post-Famine emigration and its effects on Irish living standards. The conclusions are that the Famine played a significant role in unleashing the subsequent emigration; and that emigration was crucial for the impressive increase in Irish living standards which took place during the next 100 years.

Is the celtic tiger a paper tiger?
(2008)
Ó Gráda, Cormac
Abstract:
The success of the Irish economy over the last decade has rightly attracted enormous attention from both domestic and international commentators. The remarkable phase of high economic growth rates throughout the 1990s and into the new century has led to the Irish economy being dubbed the “Celtic Tiger”, a term that has quickly been subsumed into national lexicon. Leaving aside the appropriateness of the term, the factors that have led to the significant turnabout in the economic fortunes of Ireland in a relatively short time-span deserve close scrutiny so as to inform future policy direction. The, sometimes, mocking adage attributed to economists of “that is alright in practice but how does it work in theory” may seem applicable in looking back at the recent past. There is, however, an important lesson contained within it, which is that in order to understand the course that the Irish economy is likely to follow in the future, it is necessary to identify the factors and their intera...

Multinationals and indigenous employment : an "Irish disease"?
(2010)
Barry, Frank; Hannan, Aoife
Abstract:
In trade studies Ireland emerges as having a revealed comparative disadvantage in labour-intensive industries. Can the country's unusual industrial structure contribute to our understanding of its high unemployment? The Dutch-disease models we explore suggest that the inflow of multinationals would have stimulated employment when the exchange rate was linked to sterling, but could have had less benevolent consequences when the exchange rate became more flexible. We also discuss a number of alternative hypotheses on the relationship between multinational and aggregate employment.

Non-Cash Benefits and Poverty in Ireland

Non-Cash Benefits and Poverty in Ireland
(2009)
Nolan, Brian; Russell, Helen
Abstract:
This paper addresses the question of whether Non-Cash benefits significantly affect the estimated poverty rates. It carefully considers how the benefits could be measured and concluded that there is relatively little change in overall poverty levels when non-cash benefits are valued and included in the estimation procedure. However, since the benefits are strongly targeted towards the elderly rather than towards other groups of welfare recipients, their inclusion does matter in determining the relative poverty status of different groups.

On the likely extent of falls in Irish house prices

On the likely extent of falls in Irish house prices
(2009)
Kelly, Morgan
Abstract:
Looking at house price cycles across the OECD since 1970, we find a strong relationship between the size of the initial rise in price and its subsequent fall. Were this relationship to hold for Ireland, it would predict falls of real house prices of 40 to 60 per cent over a period of 8 to 9 years. The unusually large size of the Irish house building industry suggest that any significant house price fall that does occur could impose a difficult adjustment on the economy.

Policy lessons from Ireland’s latest depression

Policy lessons from Ireland’s latest depression
(2010)
Whelan, Karl
Abstract:
In this paper, I provide a selective review of Ireland’s economic performance of the last 20 years, from the early days of the Celtic Tiger, through to the housing boom and the recent slump, and then attempt to draw a few lessons from the period. I argue, based on a range of observations, that a substantial slowdown was looming for Ireland by 2007, independent of what was going to happen in the global economy, and much of this evidence was ignored in the implementation of economic policy. The result was a range of policies based on an unwarranted over-optimism which left Ireland terribly exposed to the international downturn. Policy failures in the fiscal and banking are are discussed, as well as some common criticisms of policy that have less justification.

Tests for the macroeconomic effects of large-scale migration based on the Irish experience 1947-87

Tests for the macroeconomic effects of large-scale migration based on the Irish experience 1947-87
(2009)
Walsh, Brendan M.
Abstract:
This short paper explores the relationship between the rate of migration and the rate of economic growth. A review of the literature shows that there is no unanimity regarding the net effect of migration on economic growth.Sims' causality tests on the data for Irish migration and the growth of GNP per person over the period 1948-87 reveal no evidence of feedback from migration to growth. This finding has important implications for the interpretation of the post-war Irish economic experience.

The curious case of socio-economic rights (preventing the rational? socio-economic rights and the phenomenon of blaming the victim, Irish style)
(2010)
Murray, Thomas P. (Thomas Patrick)
Abstract:
An early draft of this paper was presented at the conference “Politics, Economy and Society: Irish Developmentalism, 1958-2008”, Institute for British-Irish Studies, University College Dublin, 12 March 2009. Subsequent presentations include those made to the International Society of Political Psychology (Trinity College Dublin, 17 July 2009) and the European Consortium on Political Research (University of Potsdam, 12 September 2009).
This paper examines the influence of political culture upon constitutional reasoning and deliberation, specifically with regard to answering the question : why have socioeconomic rights not received a more effective protection in the Irish Constitution? Beyond the flotsam and jetsam of crusades and campaigns, I suggest, the politics of the Irish Constitution were and remain, intellectual, moral and ontological. What follows therefore represents a considered defence of this position, primarily with a view to demonstrating the need for a politico-soci...

The transformation of the Irish labour market : 1980-2003

The transformation of the Irish labour market : 1980-2003
(2009)
Walsh, Brendan M.
Abstract:
Traditionally characterised as a labour-surplus economy, Ireland was transformed during the 1990s. An impressive rate of employment growth led to a reduction in the unemployment rate from 15.7% to 4% between 1988 and 2004. Over the same period, labour force participation rates rose markedly and emigration was replaced by a rising net inflow of population. The improvements in labour market outcomes were widely spread across regions, age groups, and educational levels. Employment in agriculture and traditional industrial sectors continued to decline but rapid employment growth occurred in newer manufacturing sectors such as electronics, pharmaceuticals and medical instrumentation, construction, tourism and internationally traded financial sectors. This paper attributes the remarkable transformation of the Irish labour market to a combination of favourable demand side shocks, an elastic labour supply, a growing stock of human capital and a successful return to centralised wage bargaini...
