'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.

'Shame makes the world go around.’ Morrissey and the gendered discourse of class disgust
(2014)
Power, Martin J.; Dillane, Aileen; Devereux, Eoin
Abstract:
Can popular music or an individual song text inform us about society and make us question dominant discourses in the political and public sphere? This article will argue that this is indeed the case, so while the mass media (in particular) provide the dominant codes (Hall, 1999) that most audiences effortlessly recognise and relate to, it is important to recognise that counter-hegemonic ideologies are also in circulation. In a society where hegemonic discourses are produced by the upper and middle classes, the capacity to articulate a contradictory narrative to the marginalised is aided by the ‘reach’ of popular music (Botta 2006, p. 123).

'The Last, the Most Dreadful Resource of Nature’: Economic-historical Reflections on Famine

'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.

‘Second order’ versus ‘issue voting’ effects in EU Referendums : evidence from the Irish Nice Treaty Referendums

‘Second order’ versus ‘issue voting’ effects in EU Referendums : evidence from the Irish Nice Treaty Referendums
(2010)
Garry, John; Marsh, Michael; Sinnott, Richard
Abstract:
Given the raft of upcoming referendums on the new EU constitution, the question of what determines voting in EU referendums is of considerable importance. Are referendums on EU treaties decided by voters' attitudes to Europe (the 'issue voting' explanation) or by voters' attitudes to their national political parties and incumbent national government (the 'second-order election model' explanation)? In one scenario, these referendums will approximate to deliberative processes that will be decided by people's views of the merits of European integration and of the new constitution. In the other scenario, they will be plebiscites on the performance of national governments. The implications of each scenario for democratic decision-making on EU issues are quite different and very far-reaching. We test the two competing explanations of the determinants of voting in EU referendums using evidence from the two Irish referendums on the Nice Treaty. We find tha...

"Dublin is Just a Sunningdale Away?" : The SDLP, the Irish Government and the Sunningdale Agreement

"Dublin is Just a Sunningdale Away?" : The SDLP, the Irish Government and the Sunningdale Agreement
(2010)
McLoughlin, P. J.
Abstract:
Paper presented at the conference “Assessing the Sunningdale Agreement”, Institute for British-Irish Studies, University College, Dublin, 15 June 2006
This paper examines the roles played by the Irish government and more particularly Northern Ireland's Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP) in both the making and the breakdown of the 1973 Sunningdale agreement. It asks whether the combined efforts of the SDLP and the Irish government pushed unionist negotiators too far at Sunningdale, producing a settlement which was predetermined towards Irish reunification, and so justified loyalist claims that 'Dublin is just a Sunningdale Away'. The paper draws on recently released archival material to show how the SDLP was, to a significant degree, able to dictate Dublin's policy on Northern Ireland in the early 1970s, suggesting that this led to a uniform and highly ambitious agenda on the part of nationalist participants at the Sunningdale conference. However, it al...

.The continuous rise of socio-economic inequality over the past decades with its connected political outcomes such as the Brexit vote in the UK, and the election of Donald Trump are currently a matter of intense debate both in academia and in journalism. A significant sign of the heightened interest was the surprise popularity of Thomas Piketty’s Capital in the 21st Century. The book reached the top of the bestseller lists and was described as a ‘media sensation’ and Piketty himself as a ‘rock star economist’. This paper, drawing from a major international and cross-disciplinary study, investigates the print media treatment in four European countries of economic policy proposals presented in Capital. Applying social semiotic and critical discourse analysis, we specifically focus on articles which are in disagreement with these proposals and identify five categories of counterarguments ...

"The Mythical Value of Voice and Stewardship in the EU Directive On Long-Term Shareholder Engagement: Rights Do Not An Engaged Shareholder Make" Working Paper No.32 Stanford-Vienna EU Law Working Paper Series.32
(2018)
Ahern, Deirdre
Abstract:
Through the lens of assessing the likely regulatory impact of the 2017 EU Directive on Long-term Shareholder Engagement?s amendments to the Directive on Shareholder Rights, this article considers the mythical voice and stewardship role attributed by the EU to shareholders as active corporate governance gatekeepers and drivers of its long-term sustainability agenda. It identifies limitations of the Directive itself and practical challenges concerning the provisions on shareholder identification, executive pay, related party transactions, proxy advisors and shareholder engagement policies. It is argued that there is a considerable normative gap between the EU narrative of engagement and the challenge of engaging shareholders away from self-interest and rational apathy to fulfil a stewardship role.

A "new politics" of participation?
(2010)
Meehan, Elizabeth M.; Mackay, Fiona
Abstract:
Paper presented at the conference, “The Impact of Devolution on Everyday Life: 1999-2009”, Newman House, Dublin, 6 February 2009
This paper outlines developments in participatory politics in Northern Ireland and draws some comparisons with Scotland. The section on Northern Ireland covers traditions of civic activism which led to efforts to ensure that women activists and the voluntary and community sectors in general would be able to shape the “normalization” of politics and to continue to contribute in the new polity. In particular, it examines the fate of the Civic Forum and the role of Section 75 of the Northern Ireland Act as a form of inclusive policy-making. In making some comparisons with Scotland, the paper looks at similarities and differences in contexts, procedures/ institutions and impacts. In conclusion it identifies issues and questions that need to be addressed for there truly to be a “new politics” of participation. The paper suggests that, while high expectation...

A Balancing Act: Managing the global-local dimensions of industrial clusters through the mechanism of 'lead' organisations

A Balancing Act: Managing the global-local dimensions of industrial clusters through the mechanism of 'lead' organisations
(2012)
Giblin, Majella
Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to investigate 'leading' organisations in a region to understand how the balance between the global and local dimensions can be managed by clusters. Two cases of industrial clusters are employed to examine how certain organisations can occupy a 'lead' position and how - if at all - such organisations generate an agglomerative effect in a cluster, given that firms engage in extra-local inter-organisational linkages in order to remain competitive. The study shows that when large firms enact a leading role by influencing the technology trajectory of the region and stimulating the local dynamic they can generate agglomerative effects thereby enhancing the relevance and sustainability of clusters. Most significantly, it shows how leading organisations act as an important facilitator in connecting the global and local dimensions of clusters even in the absence of extensive formal local linkages. While the study substantiates previous resear...

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.

Abstract:
The aim of this paper is to revise and correct the results obtained in Beladi et al. [Beladi, H., Chakrabarti, A., Marjit, S., 2010. Cross-border merger, vertical structure, and spatial competition. Economics Letters 109, 112-114]. Specifically, we prove that the Nash equilibrium locations of the downstream firms are the same in the pre-merger free-trade case as they are following a cross-border upstream merger.

HOUGHTON, CONOR JAMES
Abstract:
non-peer-reviewed
Measuring the transmitted information in metric-based clustering has become something of a standard test for the performance of a spike train metric. In this comment, the recently proposed L_p Victor-Purpura metric is used to cluster spiking responses to zebra finch songs, recorded from field L of anesthetized zebra finch. It is found that for these data the L_p metrics with p>1 modestly outperform the standard, p=1, Victor-Purpura metric. It is argued that this is because for larger values of p, the metric comes closer to performing windowed coincidence detection.
