Overview
This course draws upon economic theory and empirics to consider Ireland?s evolving role in the global economy, insofar as this constitutes an essential part of the context within which government, enterprises and citizens operate, and their behaviour understood and evaluated. Central themes in the course are the nature and extent of the integration of product and factor markets, the operation of domestic and supra-national institutions in managing that integration and their conduct of economic policy. Particular themes may include a survey of contemporary developments in the Ireland and the global economy, the applied economics of economic growth and innovation, the economics of human capital and labour markets, fiscal policy institutions and strategies, capital mobility and the design of macroeconomic policy within the European Union. The course places particular emphasis on a comparative and historical situating of Ireland?s economic experience within Europe, and within the European Union especially.
