Subject:

Description:

ECON 20060 Irish Economy at UCD; This module is effectively an applied macroeconomics course. The objective is to analyze Ireland's economic performance, mainly since the 1970s. We analyse the severe problems of the1980s. We look at the rise of Celtic Tiger. We will also spend sometime anlaysisng the recent credit crunch and severe economic difficulties. The course also considers the constraints under which policy makers now operate-the lack of an exchange rate instrument, and the Stability and Growth Pact. These constraints push policy more back onto the supply side and this requires an analysis of competition, education, investment and regulatory regimes. Finally the medium-term growth prospects for the economy are considered.
