Overview
Ireland's economic performance over the last decade has been spectacular. National Income expanded in the ten years from 1987 at more than double the rates achieved by the US, the UK or the EU. Job creation figures are equally impressive. These essays by a group of leading Irish economists analyze the factors behind this dramatic growth. Among the issues explored are the long-term consequences of fiscal stabilization, the increasing educational attainment of the workforce, and the wage moderation and peaceful labor relations that characterized the period.
