European Integration
European Integrationjudahs The document discusses the debate around the supranational vs intergovernmental approaches to European integration in the context of rejections of the EU constitution by France, the Netherlands, and Ireland. It outlines the key principles of each approach and proposes a new vision for a supranational EU with a directly elected parliament, prime minister, and limited power president as head of state. Critics argue for maintaining national sovereignty through an intergovernmental model focused on cooperation between states.
Economic integration
Economic integrationLavanya Akella This document discusses economic integration at three levels - global, regional, and bilateral. It outlines four stages of economic integration: free trade areas, customs unions, common markets, and economic unions. Free trade areas eliminate internal tariffs but maintain external tariffs, while customs unions have common external tariffs. Common markets integrate free movement of goods, services, capital and labor. Economic unions coordinate fiscal and monetary policy in addition to a common market. The document also covers some economic effects like trade creation and diversion, as well as issues like trade deflection and national sovereignty.
Economic Integration(presentation)
Economic Integration(presentation)kabul university Economic integration involves reducing trade barriers between countries through international agreements or regional partnerships. The main approaches are multilateral cooperation under the WTO or smaller regional blocs. Integration provides benefits like increased trade opportunities and employment but can also divert trade away from non-member states. Deeper integration involves moving from preferential trade areas and free trade zones to customs unions and common markets with coordinated economic policies and freedom of movement. The European Union represents the most integrated model as both an economic and political union.
Regional Economic Integration
Regional Economic IntegrationSumit Sinha The document discusses various forms and examples of regional economic integration agreements between groups of countries. It outlines different levels of integration from free trade areas to economic unions. Regional integration aims to reduce trade barriers and stimulate economic growth. However, it can also lead to trade diversion and costs from adjusting to more open markets. The EU and NAFTA are two prominent examples of regional integration discussed in the document.
Stock Flow Consistent Models and Agent Based Models
Stock Flow Consistent Models and Agent Based ModelsStephen Kinsella This document provides an overview of Stephen Kinsella's work on building a Stock Flow Consistent (SFC) macroeconomic model combined with an Agent Based Model (ABM). The goal is to create a policy evaluation model comparable to those used by central banks. It will include heterogeneous agents from different sectors (households, firms, banks, government) that interact according to simple behavioral rules. The model aims to better understand economic crises without relying on representative agent or rational expectations assumptions. Further work includes building a benchmark model, studying agent mobility, and numerical techniques for simulating large SFC models.
Stock flow modelling and agent based modelling
Stock flow modelling and agent based modellingStephen Kinsella This document provides context for a presentation on stock flow consistent models and agent based models. It discusses the stock flow consistent methodology, which models the economy based on flows of funds between sectors using balance sheets and transaction matrices. The goal is to build macroeconomic models that are internally consistent and can be used to simulate policy experiments. Two applications are discussed: an Irish macroeconomic model that looks at the economy from a balance sheet perspective, and an earlier stock flow consistent agent based model. Further work plans to estimate these types of models.
Accesstalk pdf
Accesstalk pdfStephen Kinsella This document discusses government budgets and taxation. It explains that budgets help governments plan for services by making educated guesses about revenues and expenditures. When expenditures exceed revenues, the government must borrow to cover the difference. It also discusses different types of taxes like income tax, VAT, and carbon taxes. The future may include more property and water taxes as the government aims to reduce borrowing. The document considers different perspectives on taxes and whether all families should receive the same child benefit amount.
Modeling Aggregation and Interlinkages
Modeling Aggregation and InterlinkagesStephen Kinsella This document analyzes the linkages between different sectors of the Irish economy that contributed to the financial crisis. It discusses 3 key linkages: 1) How rising household credit led to rising debt levels. 2) How private sector debt accumulated and was transferred to the public sector balance sheet. 3) How expectations of continued growth were not met with reality as the economy entered a demand-deficient recession. The document uses charts and data to show trends in household borrowing, debt, asset prices, unemployment and other economic indicators to demonstrate these interlinkages and how Ireland's crisis emerged.
Irish Times Innovation Roadshow Talk
Irish Times Innovation Roadshow TalkStephen Kinsella The document discusses issues related to funding for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Ireland, noting that access to credit is a key problem for SMEs but that learning to thrive in a low demand, low credit environment is also important. It provides context on Ireland's economic downturn following the financial crisis and argues that policy should be redirected towards initiatives that support SMEs, as businesses of all sizes can help reduce unemployment. Data is presented on lending to SMEs, wages by firm size and nationality, and an estimate of approximately €100 million per year needed in SME credit.
Regulation a European Perspective
Regulation a European PerspectiveStephen Kinsella This document summarizes research on financial regulation from a European perspective conducted by Stephen Kinsella and Vincent O'Sullivan from UL. It provides an overview of their projects modeling interactions between financial regulation and EU macroeconomic balance sheets from 1980-2012. It proposes alternative risk management mechanisms for the Irish case but generalizable to the EU situation. The document lists several of their selected publications on topics like the Irish banking crisis, UK regulatory reform, and the EU recapitalization proposals. It outlines areas for further research and the implications of lacking rigorous macroeconomic analysis to accompany new financial regulations in Europe. Finally, it provides context on why financial regulation has become an important topic and defines key concepts like what regulation aims to do and reasons for
Is Ireland the Role Model for Austerity?
Is Ireland the Role Model for Austerity?Stephen Kinsella 1. Ireland experienced strong economic growth from 2006-2007 but then suffered a severe economic downturn from 2008-2009 as the global financial crisis hit. GDP and GNP declined sharply.
2. The document discusses whether Ireland's program of austerity measures is the appropriate policy response or "role model" for other countries like Greece experiencing economic crises.
3. The author analyzes Ireland's economic data from 2006-2012 and unemployment levels over time to evaluate the effects of austerity and debate if it is the right approach for recovery.

Buy Limerick.Stephen Kinsella This document discusses the history and development of Limerick from the 1860s to today. It analyzes theories of urban development and the logic of post-war export-led growth. It argues that Limerick can no longer rely on large employers to provide jobs and must find new sources of economic growth and consumption. The document proposes that the University of Limerick invest in infrastructure projects to stimulate the local economy during stagnation and help revitalize the city center.

Peer Review Guidelines
Peer Review GuidelinesStephen Kinsella The document provides instructions for students on completing a peer review assignment using Turnitin. It outlines that students must submit their paper and peer reviews by certain deadlines. For the peer review, students are asked to evaluate four areas - organization, referencing, grammar/style, and content. They must provide feedback and recommend a grade for the papers they review. The document also provides the Turnitin class ID and enrollment password needed to set up an account, how to submit a paper, and how to access and complete the peer reviews.
Budget2011: Where to now?
Budget2011: Where to now?Stephen Kinsella The document discusses Ireland's budget challenges over the past several years. It shows graphs of government spending and revenues from 2000-2015 that illustrate growing deficits as spending exceeded revenues. It notes Ireland had to undertake a 4-year plan with the EU/IMF to reduce borrowing and get public finances under control. Key points in budgets from 2009-2011 included slashing capital investment, providing flood relief funds, introducing tax breaks for startups, and considering pension and carbon tax reforms.

International Economics Guest Lecture
International Economics Guest LectureStephen Kinsella The document discusses different types of tariffs such as import tariffs, export tariffs, ad valorem tariffs, and specific tariffs. It analyzes the effects of tariffs on small and large countries, finding that tariffs typically result in deadweight welfare losses for small countries but can potentially increase welfare for large countries through improvements in their terms of trade. However, the optimal tariff theory does not consider the likelihood of retaliation from other countries in response to new tariffs.
The Margins of Viability
The Margins of ViabilityStephen Kinsella This study calculated the total cost of keeping one extremely low birth weight infant alive in the hospital for 212 days to be €611,497.38, with a marginal cost of an extra week of life being €8531. The researchers gathered highly detailed cost data from 176 variables recorded in the patient's case and assigned unit costs to calculate total, variable, fixed, and marginal daily costs - finding that the cost was much higher than estimates from other studies in the UK and US.
Designing a Strategy for Economic Recovery
Designing a Strategy for Economic RecoveryStephen Kinsella Ireland has experienced an unprecedented economic downturn that has wiped out much of the wealth gained in recent years. The recent budget outlined further cuts and austerity measures to address fiscal issues. Long-term challenges include an aging population, climate change, and pension funding that will require massive investment in infrastructure to stimulate the economy and prepare for the future. Municipal bonds are proposed as a mechanism to fund this needed infrastructure spending.

EC4004 Economics for Business Lecture 2Stephen Kinsella Here's a guest lecture by Dr Helena Lenihan on aspects of microeconomics you might have seen from last year.
US & EU Linkages: How did they contribute to the crisis?
US & EU Linkages: How did they contribute to the crisis?Stephen Kinsella 1. The current banking crisis is best explained by the history of financial regulation, which allowed strong linkages between the US and EU systems that amplified the crisis.
2. Linkages between the US and EU financial systems through international debt markets were much stronger in the current crisis compared to previous crises, exacerbating the problems.
3. Implementation of new financial regulations may not be sufficient to prevent another major crisis in the 2020s, as credit markets have a tendency to breed their own downfall through increasing leverage and risky lending, according to Minsky's theories on financial instability.
Social Media as a Bridge between Teaching and Research
Social Media as a Bridge between Teaching and ResearchStephen Kinsella Here's a talk I gave on Tuesday to a symposium on Social Media with Prof. Gerry McKiernan, revolving around using social media tools like this blog, the text messaging software, and The Twitter, etc, to communicate and interact with my students.
A Matching Model with Friction and Multiple Criteria
A Matching Model with Friction and Multiple CriteriaStephen Kinsella We present a model of matching based on two character measures.
There are two classes of individual. Each individual
observes a sequence of potential partners from the opposite class.
One
measure describes the "attractiveness" of an individual.
Preferences are common according to
this measure: i.e. each individual prefers highly attractive partners and all individuals
of a given class agree as to how attractive individuals of the opposite class are. Preferences are
homotypic with respect to the second measure, referred to as "character" i.e.
all individuals prefer partners of a similar character.
Such a problem may be interpreted as e.g. a job search problem in which the classes
are employer and employee, or a mate choice problem in which the classes are male and
female.
It is assumed that
attractiveness is easy to measure and observable with certainty. However,
in order to observe the character of an individual, an interview (or courtship) is required.
Hence, on observing the attractiveness of a prospective partner an individual must decide whether he/she wishes
to proceed to the interview stage. Interviews only occur by mutual consent. A pair can only be formed
after an interview. During the interview phase the prospective pair
observe each other's
character, and then decide whether they wish to form a pair.
It is assumed that mutual acceptance is required for pair formation to
occur. An individual stops searching on finding a partner.
This paper
presents a general model of such a matching process. A particular case is
considered in which character "forms a ring" and has a uniform distribution.
A set of criteria based on the concept of a subgame
perfect Nash equilibrium is used to define the solution of this particular game. It is shown that
such a solution is unique. The general form of the solution is derived and a procedure for finding
the solution of such a game is given.
EC4024 Financial Economics Lecture 19L Neurofinance
EC4024 Financial Economics Lecture 19L NeurofinanceStephen Kinsella This document provides an overview of neurofinance and behavioral economics. It discusses how neurofinance uses neuroscientific techniques like brain imaging to study how people make financial decisions. Specific concepts covered include myopic loss aversion, hyperbolic discounting, the ultimatum game, and time discounting. The document also discusses potential policy implications of incorporating insights from neurofinance, such as improving savings rates, and debates around libertarian paternalism.

It concludes by noting exam preparation materials available and details of the final exam.
Financial Economics Lecture 18 Behavioural Finance
Financial Economics Lecture 18 Behavioural FinanceStephen Kinsella This document summarizes key concepts in behavioral finance including:
1. The efficient markets hypothesis and adaptive markets hypothesis which extends EMH to incorporate behavioral finance insights.
2. Expected utility theory and prospect theory which challenges expected utility theory by showing people treat losses differently than gains.
3. Behavioral biases like representativeness, availability, and anchoring that influence investor decisions. Applications of behavioral finance concepts to anomalies like the January effect are also discussed.
