Whelan, Ciara ; Walsh, Patrick P. (Elsevier Science, 2001)

Using survey data for 220 traditional manufacturing firms over 7 years of transition and 4 Central Eastern Europe (CEE) countries, we find firms that produced for the EU market under planning consistently outperform those ...

Whelan, Ciara ; Walsh, Patrick P. (William Davidson Institute, University of Michigan, 2000-07)

Using survey data for 220 traditional manufacturing firms over 7 years of transition and 4 CEE countries, we find firms that produced for the EU market under planning consistently outperform those that produced for the ...
Firm size and market power in carbonated soft drinks

Whelan, Ciara ; Walsh, Patrick P. (Springer Science + Business Media, 2003)

Sutton (1998) offers us a simple way to model firm size distributions across differentiated products industries. We analyse the implications of this approach for company markups using a structural model for a specific ...
The firm size distribution and inter-industry diversification

Hutchinson, John ; Konings, Jozef ; Walsh, Patrick P. (University College Dublin. Geary Institute, 2009-08)

We show that the stylized facts of the Firm Size Distribution (FSD) by age cohorts, as shown in Cabral and Mata (2003), bind within 4-digit manufacturing industries in the UK and Belgium. As in Klepper and Thompson (2006) ...
The firm size distribution in a small open economy : theory and evidence

Walsh, Patrick P. ; Li, Qi (University College Dublin. Geary Institute, 2009-07)

We construct a theoretical model of the dynamic processes (firm entry, growth, decline, and exit) that underpin the determination of a limiting firm size distribution (FSD). In particular, we model such dynamic processes ...
A flow analysis of the link between Irish and British unemployment

Harrison, Michael J. ; Walsh, Patrick P. (Trinity College Dublin. Department of Economics, 1994)

This paper is a contribution to the research on Irish unemployment which for the first time models the flows into and out of the Live Register. Using the quarterly flow data contructed by the authors (see A Flow Analysis ...
A general framework for analysing endogenous trade divergences

Walsh, Patrick P. (Suntory and Toyota International Centres for Economics and Related Disciplines, 1991-11)

This paper gives a general framework for analyzing a trade divergence that runs across both the New International trade theory and the traditional analysis of export policy. The source of the trade divergence, the motive ...
Gradual restructuring and structural unemployment in Poland. A legacy of central planning

Lehmann, Hartmut ; Walsh, Patrick P. (LICOS Centre for Transition Economics, 1999)

In the transition to a market economy we examine the relationship between inherited human capital structures and the evolution of unemployment within a two-sector model of endogenous restructuring. We find evidence across ...
The impact of discriminatory legislation on Irish female unemployment flows

Harrison, Michael J. ; Strobl, Eric ; Walsh, Patrick P. (Trinity College Dublin. Department of Economics, 1995)

Ireland provides us with a unique case-study of the effects of discrimination in the labour market. Since the ninteen-sixties and until the late nineteen-eighties, gradual reforms of explicit discrimination against females ...
The impact of product market competition on employment eetermination in unionised and non-unionised firms : firm level evidence for the U.K.

Konings, Jozef ; Walsh, Patrick P. (Springer Science, 2000-12)

In this paper we investigate the effect of increased competition on employment in unionised andnon-unionised firms. We model product and labour market imperfections, and their interactions, in Nash equilibrium. The model ...
The impact of social security reforms on female unemployment compensation claimants in Ireland

Harrison, Michael J. ; Strobl, Eric ; Walsh, Patrick P. (Springer Netherlands, 1998-11)

As a result of Ireland’s accession to the EU, a series of social security reforms establishing equality of treatment of females and males with regard to entitlement to and rate and duration of receipt of unemployment ...
The importance of structural change in industry for growth

Whelan, Ciara ; Walsh, Patrick P. (Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 2000)

The paper documents ongoing job creation and job destruction within 3- digit Irish manufacturing sectors over the period 1973 to 1994. Within sectors of low-technology manufacturing, this was due to the gradual development ...
Individual pay and outside options : evidence from the Polish labour force survey

Duffy, Fiona ; Walsh, Patrick P. (Institute for the Study of Labor, 2001-05)

Using Polish Labour Force Survey data, we examine whether competition for labour has induced individual pay to depend on outside options, availability and quality of jobs. Exploiting the lack of inter-regional job and ...
Is there a rural-urban divide? Location and productivity of UK manufacturing

Rizov, Marian ; Walsh, Patrick P. (University College Dublin. Geary Institute, 2009-08)

We compute the productivity gaps in manufacturing industries by urban, rural less sparse and rural sparse locations in the UK. This is done by using firm-specific total factor productivities, which are estimated by a ...
Jobless growth through creative destruction : Ireland's industrial development path 1972-2003

Whelan, Ciara ; Walsh, Patrick P. ; Li, Qi (UCD Geary Institute, 2007-12-05)

We document the nature of structural changes in employment to understand “jobless” growth in Irish Manufacturing in the aftermath of EEC/EU membership, 1972-2003. By 1972, forty years of protectionism and fifteen years of ...
Linking productivity to trade in the structural estimation of production within UK manufacturing industries

Rizov, Marian ; Walsh, Patrick P. (Institute for International Integration Studies (IIIS), 2005-10)

We estimate productivity dynamics within 4-digit manufacturing industries, using FAME data on UK Companies, from 1994 to 2003. We extend the algorithm in Olley and Pakes (1996) to allow for a selection bias driven by the ...
Loss leading and price intervention in multiproduct retailing : welfare outcomes in a second-best world

Whelan, Ciara ; Walsh, Patrick P. (Elsevier Science, 1999)

Merger control in differentiated product industries

Whelan, Ciara ; Walsh, Patrick P. ; Mariuzzo, Franco (MIT Press Journals - Massachusets Institute, 2006)

Given that brands (products) are location specific in terms of coverage of retail stores, we allow consumers to have preferences over location and products to carry distribution costs, alongside preferences and costs over ...
Merger control in differentiated product industries

Mariuzzo, Franco ; Walsh, Patrick P. ; Whelan, Ciara (University College Dublin. School of Economics, 2005-05)

Thresholds defined on the level and change in the HHI (Herfindahl-Hirschmann Index) applied to market shares seem to be the main instrument to select notified mergers for investigation in both the EU and US. We question ...
