Irish Economy Today

This page aims to provide direct links to academic research of relevance for understanding the ongoing economic situation in Ireland. The content is limited to relevant research papers, rather than newspaper articles and other media commentaries. (Up-to-date commentary from some of Ireland’s leading economists can be found at http://www.irisheconomy.ie/)

Please note that because the aim of this page is to point you towards the latest high-quality research in a period of rapid change, many of the papers are ‘working papers’ that are likely still to be in the process of peer review and hence subject to amendment.

The papers are listed under two headings: Latest ESRI Research and Other Research. Other Research, covering Irish and International sources, includes a selection of papers about Ireland’s current economic situation. The papers are ordered by date. Suggestions for other research papers that might appear here can be sent to irisheconomy@esri.ie.
