Beat 'em or join 'em? : export subsidies versus international research joint ventures in oligopolistic markets

Beat 'em or join 'em? : export subsidies versus international research joint ventures in oligopolistic markets
(1998)
Neary, J. Peter; O'Sullivan, Paul
Abstract:
This paper compares adversarial with cooperative industrial and trade policies in a dynamic oligopoly game in which a home and foreign firm compete in R&D and output and, because of spillovers, each firm benefits from the other's R&D. When the government can commit to an export subsidy, such a policy raises welfare relative to cooperation, except when R&D is highly effective and spillovers are near-complete. Without commitment, however, subsidisation may yield welfare levels much lower than cooperation and lower even than free trade, though qualifications to the dangers from no commitment are noted.

Beauty and intelligence may - or may not - be related

Beauty and intelligence may - or may not - be related
(2008)
Denny, Kevin
Abstract:
In a recent paper, Kanazawa and Kovar (2004) assert that given certain empirical regularities about assortative mating and the heritability of intelligence and beauty, that it logically follows that more intelligent people are more beautiful. It is argued here that this “theorem” is false and that the evidence does not support it.

Behavioural economics and drinking behaviour : preliminary results from an Irish college study
(2007)
Delaney, Liam; Harmon, Colm; Wall, Patrick G.
Abstract:
This paper examines the results of single-equation regression models of the determinants of alcohol consumption patterns among college students modelling a rich variety of covariates including gender, family and peer drinking, tenure, personality, risk perception, time preferences and age of drinking onset. The results demonstrate very weak income effects and very strong effects of personality, peer drinking (in particular closest friend), time preferences and other substance use. The task of future research is to verify these results and assess causality using more detailed methods.

Behavioural Economics and Policymaking: Learning from the Early Adopters

Behavioural Economics and Policymaking: Learning from the Early Adopters
(2012)
LUNN, PETE
Abstract:
This paper critically examines initial applications of Behavioural Economics (BE) to policymaking. It focuses primarily but not exclusively on what can be learnt from the early adopters of policies inspired by BE, notably America and Britain. BE is defined by its inductive scientific approach to economics, which results in empirical demonstrations that are persuasive to policymakers facing practical problems. The analysis identifies three routes via which BE has influenced policy: (1) the theory of libertarian paternalism ("nudges"), (2) the provision of toolkits for policymakers seeking behavioural change, and (3) the expansion of the skill-set of applied economists (and scientists in related disciplines). The effectiveness of each route is assessed, in terms of the likelihood of successfully integrating scientific advances with policy development. The analysis concludes that route (3) is the only one that can adapt to the ongoing and rapid evolution of what is a young sc...

Benefits and Costs of Methane Emission Reduction in the Irish National Herd

Benefits and Costs of Methane Emission Reduction in the Irish National Herd
(2010)
Garvey, Eoghan; Mc Inerney, Niall
Abstract:
In this paper, we compare many of the widely available estimated global benefits of abatement with the costs to Irish agriculture, as estimated by the CAPRI model. We apply the model to Ireland only, in a simple comparative static simulation, and assume fixed prices. We focus more on methane reduction than GWP reduction as a whole, because most of the discussion regarding global warming from agriculture in Ireland has focused on methane. Our results suggest that the costs of methane abatement to the farming sector do indeed outweigh the global benefits, except in the case of very small methane abatements. However, if one also factors in the gains to society of the FEOGA budget rebates, then all losses disappear, and in fact net financial gains occur. We conclude that this may have implications for the design of methane reduction policies.

Benzodiazepine usage in the North Eastern Health Board region of the Republic of Ireland
(2004)
HENMAN, MARTIN CHARLES; VIVERO, LISA; GUSTAFSSON, ANNA; MULVENNA, KATE
Abstract:
non-peer-reviewed
Introduction: Benzodiazepines are a large group of drugs used as hypnotics, anxiolytics, and tranquillisers, anti convulsants, pre-medication and for intravenous sedation. Extended use of benzodiazepines may lead to dependence and misuse. Use of benzodiazepines, for anxiety disorder and insomnia, is therefore just recommended for short-term use. Current European prescribing guidelines for usage of benzodiazepines for general anxiety is 4 weeks and 1-2 weeks for acute insomnia. Despite prescribing recommendations long-term use is widespread in medical practice, especially among elderly. For many years now concerns have been expressed over the inappropriate use of benzodiazepines in Ireland. Aim: The objective of this study was to determine the feasibility of exploiting government General Medical Services (GMS) data to provide periodic drug utilisation reports, and assess benzodiazepine and related drug usage in the North Eastern Health Board (NEHB) region durin...

Beyond divided territories : how changing popular understandings of public space in Northern Ireland can facilitate new identity dynamics

Beyond divided territories : how changing popular understandings of public space in Northern Ireland can facilitate new identity dynamics
(2010)
Stevenson, Clifford
Abstract:
The sectarian geography of Northern Ireland, whereby the majority of the population live in areas predominated by one religion or the other, is typically assumed to straightforwardly reflect the territorial identities of local residents. This conflation of place and identity neglects the role of place in actively shaping and changing the behaviours occurring within them. The present paper uses new developments in the area of social psychology to examine three case studies of place identity in Northern Ireland and explore the possibilities for change. A large scale survey of the display of flags and emblems across Northern Ireland demonstrates the extent of visible territorialisation, but also the relationship between understandings of space and the acceptability of these displays. Secondly, analysis of interviews with the Orange Order and nationalist residents concerning the Drumcree dispute illustrates how different constructions of space are used to claim and counterclaim rights t...

Beyond the Catholic-Protestant divide : religious and ethnic diversity in the North and South of Ireland

Beyond the Catholic-Protestant divide : religious and ethnic diversity in the North and South of Ireland
(2003)
Feldman, Alice
Abstract:
This paper explores the challenges posed by the ethnic diversification of contemporary Irish society for conventional understandings of and responses to issues of religion, community and politics. It argues that the particularities of social and institutional histories and structures in the North and South have eclipsed wider considerations of both race and ethnicity and religious identity beyond the Catholic-Protestant divide. This has, in turn, served to obscure the many dynamic changes that such diversity has catalysed both within Irish civil society generally, and within the island’s traditional religious institutions themselves. The paper discusses the promises and potentials of conceptualising religion or religious identity and the relationships between religion and ethnicity within broader cultural and political fields, and their implications for the “new” (multicultural) Ireland.

Beyond the Role Model: Organisational modelling in policy based management systems

Beyond the Role Model: Organisational modelling in policy based management systems
(2003)
FEENEY, KEVIN
Abstract:
In this paper, we discuss recent developments in the field of Policy Based Management (PBM) and Role Based Access Control (RBAC).We postulate that PBM tends towards a total description of an organisation?s operations. We examine the organisational models used in PBM and analyse them from the point of view of organisational theory. We conclude that the current organisational models and engineering methodologies employed in RBAC systems suffer from a simplistic, Taylorist, conception of the organisation. We propose a new approach to modelling organisations for PBM systems. Our approach replaces roles with communities (which may be granted autonomy in specific realms) as the fundamental unit of organisational analysis and integrates them with organisational decision making mechanisms to build a more accurate model of the real-world organisation.

Big and tall parents do not have more sons

Big and tall parents do not have more sons
(2008)
Denny, Kevin
Abstract:
In a 2005 paper Kanezawa proposed a generalisation of the classic Trivers- Willard hypothesis. It was argued that as a result taller and heavier parents should have more sons relative to daughters. Using two British cohort studies, evidence was presented which was partly consistent with the hypothesis. I analyse the relationship between an individual being male and their parents’ height and weight using one of the datasets. No evidence of any such relationship is found.

Bilateral FDI and Canadian Export Activity

Bilateral FDI and Canadian Export Activity
(2010)
Mullen, John K.
Abstract:
This study examines how Canadian exports to a specific trading partner are influenced by outward and inward direct investment flows to/from that country. A gravity-type empirical model guides a dynamic panel analysis which utilizes OECD country-level data from 1989-2007. Besides refuting the contention that outward FDI displaces exports, the findings also imply a strong role for intra-firm based export growth in response to inward FDI. The analysis is enriched by explicitly accounting for the dominant position of the U.S. within the context of Canada¿s overall trade and investment flows.

Bitcoin, Gold and the Dollar – a GARCH Volatility Analysis
(2015)
Dyhrberg, Anne Haubo
Abstract:
This paper explores the financial asset capabilities of bitcoin using GARCH models. The initial model showed several similarities to gold and the dollar indicating hedging capabilities and advantages as a medium of exchange. The asymmetric GARCH showed that bitcoin may be useful in risk management and ideal for risk averse investors in anticipation of negative shocks to the market. Overall bitcoin has a place on the financial markets and in portfolio management as it can be classified as something in between gold and the American dollar on a scale from pure medium of exchange advantages to pure store of value advantages.
