This paper argues that trade unions have a number of distinct and possibly conflicting effects on wages. This contrasts with the vast bulk of the literature which focuses on estimating a simgl measure of the union differential ...
Learning is a developmental journey, and geography curriculum plays a key role in supporting student progression. In this article, we argue that the concept of ‘self-authorship’ is a useful guiding principle in supporting ...
The existing literature now features many examples where log wages are linear in years of schooling and which effectively attempt to correct for least squares bias using instruments based essentially on a single variable. ...
This paper estimates the impact of schooling on the earnings of men. It is important to know what the return to educational investments might be since a high return to such investments may imply that individuals, for ...
We explore the possibility that different instruments may affect different margins of the schooling distribution, and consistent with recent evidence we find a large, significant downward bias in the least squares estimate ...

research on high-frequency data, ...
The association between birth order and marital status has been explored in a sample of 2500 adult males living in Dublin in 1968. Higher proportions ever-married were found among both eldest sons and eldest children than ...
Cotter, John(Financial Services Research Forum, 1997)
his paper applies an event study methodology to 22 Irish equities between 1990-1995. A recursive-sample methodology is used to account for informational flows. The research design allows risk to vary in event time testing ...
To test a model of contagion--where individuals hear some bad news and communicate it to their acquaintances, who then pass it on, leading to a market panic--requires a knowledge of the information networks of participants, ...
The healthcare market in Ireland is facing a series of problems arising from the dual nature of the market. Health insurance is an important element of this dual market. Yet the main issues confronting the health insurance ...
