| Title: | Jobless growth through creative destruction : Ireland's industrial development path 1972-2003 | Authors: | Whelan, Ciara Walsh, Patrick P. Li, Qi |
Permanent link: | http://hdl.handle.net/10197/142 | Date: | 5-Dec-2007 | Abstract: | 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 export promotion induced the coexistence of large exporting plants with import competing plants within 4-digit industries. During trade liberalisation we document persistent horizontal waves of creative destruction, a decline in traditional import competing plants and an expansion in exporting plants, within each sector. This coexisted with rapid vertical waves of creative destruction in small non-exporting plants which supported exporting growth through forward vertical linkages within each sector. | Funding Details: | This paper was funded by a Government of Ireland Research Fellowship | Type of material: | Working Paper | Publisher: | UCD Geary Institute | Copyright (published version): | 2008 Geary Institute | Keywords: | Manufacturing employment; Structural change; Trade liberalisation | Subject LCSH: | Manufacturing industries--Ireland Labor supply--Ireland Free trade--European Union countries |
