Book excerpt: This book offers a discerning narrative on the spectacular rise and fall of the so-called Celtic Tiger economy. It depicts Ireland as a micro-state with a unique reliance on foreign-assisted businesses, driven in part by a favourable taxation regime. It shows that rent-seeking by trades unions and property developers contributed to the fall since 2002. Although the country’s highly centralized government’s pre-disposition to lobbying has yielded international successes, it has also resulted in recurring self-inflicted crises since 1970. This volume shows how Ireland’s export-led growth is associated more with the attraction of foreign-assisted businesses than with the development of critical masses of internationally competitive indigenous businesses. Although the success of foreign-assisted businesses in the pharmaceutical, ICT and finance sectors has been influenced by tax advantages, many of these businesses have been involved in highly productive activity in Ireland over a number of decades. The problem of rent-seeking is shown to have undermined Irish competitiveness in the internationally traded and sheltered sectors. The Irish policy mind-set is shown to lean towards distribution rather than growth. While this has been advantageous for how ‘Ireland Inc.’ interacts with other governments and international businesses, it has also resulted in a failure to resist the destructive effects of capture by lobbies. In conclusion, this book considers future opportunities offered by the EU’s smart-specialization policy and future threats from increased international tax competition. It argues that unless Irish citizens and policymakers change deep-seated attitudes and mind-sets towards business development, the country’s performance for the next number of decades will more likely resemble serial under-achievement than that of a high-performing EU state.

This book was released on with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A quantile, of the distribution measured along the horizontal axis) below the line indicates that the proportion of the food distribution in that segment is smaller in the ratio recorded on the vertical axis, than the proportion of the manufacturing distribution in that same segment. [...] the proportion of the food distribution between the 40th and 60th percentiles is 0.5 of the manufacturing distribution); and ,at the top end of the distribution, above the 90th percentile, the ratio of food to manufacturing is more than 2.5. [...] The display in Figure 4 helps to identify the nature of the difference between the sectors: in the first column we have the pdf of the chemicals sector and in the second the rdf. [...] In other words, and this is the implication of a monotonic relative density (whether rising or falling), almost all of the difference between the distribution of labour productivity in each of these sectors and the overall distribution of manufacturing productivity is accounted for by a difference in the location of the centre. [...] The 'hollowing out' of the middle of the relative distribution is a consequence of a much larger proportion of plants in the middle of the productivity distribution than in the manufacturing sector as a whole.

Book excerpt: The Economy of Ireland (14th edition) takes a holistic examination of the Irish Economy in light of events including the Celtic Tiger boom, recession, recovery and a global pandemic.
