The impact of health on job mobility : a measure of job lock
(1998)
Kapur, Kanika
The impact of health on job mobility : a measure of job lock
(1998)
Kapur, Kanika
Abstract:
The author analyzes data from the National Medical Expenditure Survey of 1987 to measure the importance of "job lock"-the reduction in job mobility due to the non-portability of employer-provided health insurance. Refining the approach commonly used by other researchers investigating the same question, the author finds insignificant estimates of job lock; moreover, the confidence intervals of these estimates exclude large levels of job lock. A replication of an influential previous study that used the same data source shows large and significant job lock, as did that study, but when methodological problems are corrected and improved data are used to construct the job lock variables, job lock is found to be small and statistically insignificant.

The Irish non-voter : evidence from the Irish National Election Study and Living in Ireland surveys
(2005)
Delaney, Liam
Abstract:
This paper analyses the determinants of voting abstention and voting intention utilising data from the Irish National Election Study (INES) and the Living in Ireland survey. We find a marked age effect (younger people less likely to vote) that is similar in magnitude across both cross-sectional results obtained from the INES and panel results obtained from the Living in Ireland survey. Additionally, we find an inverse relationship between education and likelihood of abstention that is similar in magnitude across the panel and cross-section. We find a number of social capital variables to be negatively related to abstention. We also model the determinants of abstention including variables such as political interest; feelings of duty; confidence in the Dáil; and feelings of guilt surrounding non-voting. Inclusion of these variables renders many of the above social capital variables insignificant. However, the effect of age remains significant in all models.

Evaluating the impact of a national minimum wage : evidence from a new survey of firms
(2002)

Evaluating the impact of a national minimum wage : evidence from a new survey of firms
(2002)
Nolan, Brian; O'Neill, Donal
Abstract:
In April 2000 the Irish government introduced a national minimum wage of £4.40 an hour. This paper uses data from a specially designed panel survey of firms to estimate the labour market effects of this change. Initial results show that employment growth among firms with low wage workers prior to the legislation was not significantly different to that for firms not affected by the legislation. However, this measure of the minimum wage bite is likely to overestimate the number of firms affected by the legislation. When we use a more refined measure of the minimum wage bite, which takes account of general wage growth in the economy we find the minimum wage may have had a statistically significantly negative effect on employment for the small number of firms most severely affected by the legislation.

Varieties of Mathematics in Economics
(2007)
Velupillai, K. Vela
Varieties of Mathematics in Economics
(2007)
Velupillai, K. Vela
Abstract:
Real analysis, founded on the Zermelo-Fraenkel axioms, buttressed by the axiom of choice, is the dominant variety of mathematics utilized in the formalization of economic theory. The accident of history that led to this dominance is not inevitable, especially in an age when the digital computer seems to be ubiquitous in research, teaching and learning. At least three other varieties of mathematics have come to be used in the formalization of mathematics in more recent years. These other varieties, I claim, are more consistent with the intrinsic nature and ontology of economic concepts. In this paper I discuss aspects of the way real analysis dominates the mathematical formalizations of economic theory and the prospects for overcoming this dominance.

Conservation Research and Policy with Non-Trivial Transaction Costs and Incomplete Contracting
(2008)
Steele, Scott R.
Abstract:
Achieving conservation in the agricultural sector is difficult. The primary complicating factor is the large number of public-good environmental services that can potentially be provided by large numbers of individuals working the land under diverse economic and ecological circumstances. The complexity of the problem implies that additional consideration be given to transaction cost economics and the theory of incomplete contracting. The implications of incomplete contracting and transaction costs theory on the development, implementation, and evaluation of conservation policies are considered. Organizational analysis of the agricultural conservation problem yields three propositions and suggests unique research priorities.

Performance, Position and Competition between Places
(2008)
Garvey, Eoghan; Keane, Michael J.; Cullinan, John
Abstract:
The paper uses a finite mixture modelling approach to investigate the likely determinants of relative economic performance of Irish towns. The particular success factors that we focus on are measures of connectivity, position and competitive capacity of places. Our main argument is that these determinants of success can act in different ways on different groups of towns. The mixture model is able to detect this fact. The insights provided by the model are important additions to our understanding of spatial dynamics and contribute to the policy debate on spatial planning and infrastructural investment.

Kaldor on Debreu: The Critique of General Equilibrium Reconsidered

Kaldor on Debreu: The Critique of General Equilibrium Reconsidered
(2008)
Boylan, Thomas A.; O Gorman, Paschal F.
Abstract:
This paper revisits Kaldor's methodological critique of orthodox economics. The main target of his critique was the theory of general equilibrium as expounded in the work of Debreu and others. Kaldor deemed this theory to be seriously flawed as an empirically adequate description of real-world economies. According to Kaldor, scientific progress was not possible in economics without a major act of demolition, by which he meant the destruction of the basic conceptual framework of the theory of general equilibrium. We extend Kaldor's critique by recourse to major developments in 20th century philosophy of mathematics, and then go on to demonstrate that Debreu's work, based as it is on Bourbakist formalism and in particular Cantorian set theory, is conceptually incompatible with Kaldor¿s requirements for an empirical science. This aspect of Kaldor¿s critique has not been explored, and as a consequence a major source of substantiating his critique has remained undeveloped.

A Framework for Testing Algorithmic Trading Strategies
(2008)
Raghavendra, Srinivas; Paraschiv, Daniel; Vasiliu, Laurentiu
Abstract:
Algorithmic trading and artificial stock markets have generated huge interest not only among brokers and traders in the financial markets but also across various disciplines in the academia. The emergence of algorithmic trading has created a new environment where the classic way of trading requires new approaches. In order to understand the impact of such a trading process on the functioning of the market, new tools, theories and approaches need to be created. Thus artificial stock markets have emerged as simulation environments to test, understand and model the impact of algorithmic trading, where humans and software agents may compete on the same market. The purpose of this paper is to create a framework to test and analyse various trading strategies in a dedicated artificial environment.

Redistributive Effect of Personal Income Taxation in Pakistan
(2009)
Ahmed, Vaqar; O'Donoghue, Cathal
Abstract:
This paper studies the redistribution effect of personal income tax in Pakistan. We decompose the overall tax system in order to evaluate the contribution of rate, allowances, deductions, exemptions and credits. The structure given in Income Tax Ordinance 2001 is applied to gross household incomes in 2002 (low growth year) and 2005 (high growth year). Our findings reveal that the reforms laid down in this Ordinance resulted in a greater redistribution of incomes. The redistributive effect increases as we move from 2002 to 2005 tax assessment. Deductions for salaried tax payers contribute the most towards progressivity. This is different from countries with advanced taxation systems relying mainly on allowances followed by tax rate and exemptions.

E-voting: an immature technology in a critical context

E-voting: an immature technology in a critical context
(2008)
McGaley, Margaret
Abstract:
E-voting has been introduced prematurely to national elections in many countries worldwide. There are technical and organizational barriers which must be resolved before the use of e-voting can be recommended in such a critical context. Two fundamental requirements for e-voting systems are in con ict: ballot-secrecy and accuracy. We describe the nature and implications of this conflict, and examine the two main categories of proposed solutions: cryptographic voting schemes, and Voter Veried Audit Trails (VVATs). The conflict may permanently rule out the use of remote e-voting for critical elections, especially when one considers that there is no known way to reproduce the enforced privacy of a voting booth outside the supervision of a polling station. We then examine the difficulty faced by governments when they procure Information and Communication Technology (ICT) systems in general, and some mitigation strategies. We go on to describe some legal implications of the introduction o...

The Irish Risky Lending Gap
(2009)
Connor, Gregory
Abstract:
This paper develops a simple model of the gap between socially and privately optimal bank lending when a bank has an overhang of impaired loans, and analyzes government policies designed to close this gap. The impaired loans have risky cash fows but observable market values. A number of basic concepts are explicated including the risky lending gap, the capital component and asset risk component of the risky lending gap, capital injections versus asset purchases as policy tools, decomposition of the e¤ects of asset purchases into loan substitution and risk absorption e¤ects, the supply schedule of risky lending, the no-lending trap, and a risk-capital metric for comparing the various policy choices. The model is calibrated to match the cur- rent Irish banking environment and some tentative policy implications are suggested.

Attitudes to Transition Year: a report to the Department of Education and Science
(2007)
Jeffers, Gerry
Abstract:
Mainstreaming Transition Year (TY) in 1994,20 years after it was first introduced into Irish schools, marked the third stage in the programme's development. Uptake increased dramatically and in the 2006-07 school year, 27,090 young people in 543 schools are enrolled as TY students. TY offers students 'a broad educational experience with a view to the attainment of increased maturity' (DOE, 1993c, p.3). Schools are given extensive fieedom to devise programmes that promote personal, social, intellectual and vocational development. The Transition Year Programme, Guidelines for Schools (DOE, 1993c) lays particular emphasis on developing social awareness, increasing social competence, promoting self-directed learning and learning through experience of adult and working life. This research was commissioned by the Department of Education and Science (DES). The brief was to focus on a small number of schools where TY 'is well regarded', eliciting attitudes to this c...

Supporting Graduate Teaching Assistants at Trinity College Dublin (TCD).
(2008)
Potter , Jacqueline; Hanratty, Orla
Abstract:
Although the main activity of postgraduate students is research, many also have significant teaching roles and responsibilities. These individuals are known as graduate teaching assistants (GTAs). Their role is particularly significant in research-intensive institutions (Travers, 1989). For example, one recent estimate reported that 85 percent of the undergraduate courses within a school at a research-intensive Canadian university were taught by non-faculty staff, many of whom were postgraduates (Hickson and Fishburne, 2007). GTAs support undergraduate student learning in various different teaching contexts, and their roles vary in relation to disciplinary contexts, opportunities and constraints. Typical responsibilities of GTAs include facilitating student learning and helping students prepare for assessments (Morss and Murray, 2005). In some higher education institutions, particularly in the United States, the role of GTAs is officially recognised with employee status, whereas in...

Investability and Firm Value. Department of Economics, Finance & Accounting Working paper series N192/05/08
(2008)
O'Connor, Thomas; Mitton, Todd
Abstract:
We study how investability, or openness to foreign equity investors, affects firm value in a sample of over 1,400 firms from 26 emerging markets. We find that, on average, investability is associated with a 9% valuation premium (as measured by Tobins q). However, in firm-fixed effects regressions this valuation premium disappears, suggesting that investability does not have a causal effect on firm value. Analysis of the components of Tobins q shows that firms that become investable experience significant increases in both market values and physical investment. These effects are strongest for firms that face country-level or firm-level financial constraints prior to becoming investable.

Globalised Ireland, or, contemporary transformations of national identity?
(2003)
Fagan, Honor
Abstract:
The influential US magazine Foreign Policy issued a 'Globalization Index' in 2001, which, to the surprise of many, found the Republic of Ireland to be at the top of the list. The indicators used to construct the index included information technology, finance, trade, travel, 'politics' and personal communications, all designed to evaluate the degree of global integration. We learn that 'Ireland's strong pro-business policies' have made the country (or more precisely the Irish market) 'a hugely attractive location for foreign investors'

Time Out

Fallon, Helen; Allen, Julie
Abstract:
Established as National Institute for Higher Education (NIHE) in 1980, Dublin City University (DCU) now has a user population of some 9,000 students. A feature of this new university has been a strong commitment to staff training and development. The library, which employes 60 staff, 28 full-time, the remainder part-time, has embraced this philosophy and commitment. A formal staff development policy has been produced. An induction programme and a mentoring system for new staff are in operation. In the summer of 1999 it was decided to further explore staff development opportunities by piloting an in-house programme specifically designed for all library assistants. This programme was initiated by the head of reader services, delivered by assistant librarians and co-ordinated by a senior library assistant. This article examines the framework in which this programme took place, the issues raised and the outcomes.

Does cross listing in the U.S. really enhance the value of emerging market firms?
(2007)
O'Connor, Thomas .G.
Abstract:
In this paper, I study the valuation effects of cross listing in the U.S. for a panel of emerging market firms over the period from 1990 to 2003. In line with Kristian-Hope et al. (2007), I find that only those firms from high disclosure regimes gain from Level 2/3 listing in the U.S. The gains are not immediate, but materialize once the firm has listed in the U.S. for at least five years. I also document long-term, but not immediate valuation gains for Level 1 over-the-counter issues. In contrast to Level 2/3 issues, the gains are concentrated amongst firms from low-disclosure regimes. I find no positive valuation effects for Rule 144a private placements. The results suggest that the decision on the part of the majority of firms from low-disclosure regimes not to list as exchange traded depositary receipts is warranted.
