A Primer on the Tools and Concepts of Comutable Economics.?
(National University of Ireland, Galway, 2004)
Computability theory came into being as a result of Hilbert s attempts to
meet Brouwer s challenges, from an intuitionistc and constructive standpoint,
to formalism as a foundation for mathematical practice. Viewed this ...
Postponing Maternity in Ireland
(National University of Ireland, Galway, 2004)
As in many other developed countries, Ireland in recent decades has experienced a postponement of maternity. In this paper we consider the main trends in this phenomenon, considering changes in first and later births ...
Conflict between Commercial and Recreational Activities on Irish Rivers: Estimating the Economic Value of Whitewater Kayaking in Ireland using Mixed Data Sources
(National University of Ireland, Galway, 2004)
This paper's contribution to the understanding of outdoor recreational pursuits in Ireland comes from the estimation of the first whitewater kayaking demand function. This paper is also unique in that it combines data ...
Current Account Deficit Sustainability: A Panel Approach
(National University of Ireland, Galway, 2004)
In this paper we attempt to examine the issue of sustainability of current account imbalances in eight East Asia countries using the latest developments in nonstationary panel data analysis. The methods of nonstationary ...
Biodiversity Conservation in Managed Landscapes

Benefits and Costs of Methane Emission Reduction in the Irish National Herd
(National University of Ireland, Galway, 2004)
In this paper, we compare many of the widely available estimated global benefits of
abatement with the costs to Irish agriculture, as estimated by the CAPRI model. We apply
the model to Ireland only, in a simple comparative ...
A Stochastic Complexity Perspective of Induction in Economics and Inference in Dynamics
(National University of Ireland, Galway, 2007)
Rissanen's fertile and pioneering minimum description length principle (MDL) has been viewed from the point of view of statistical estimation theory, information theory, as stochastic complexity theory - i.e., a computable ...
Decomposition Methods in Analyzing Intra-regional and Inter-regional Income Distribution
(National University of Ireland, Galway, 2006)
In this paper we propose to study the world income distribution in the framework of Richard Stone-Richard Goodwin decomposition method [Goodwin, EJ 1949 and JPKE 1980, Stone¿s foreword to Pyatt-Roe, 1977]. The objective ...
Delineating Daily Activity Spaces in Rural Areas
(National University of Ireland, Galway, 2005)
The new relational geography challenges notions of inherently coherent, integrated `territory-based' systems of relations. This paper uses network methods and correspondence analysis to try and describe some of the spatial ...
Cost of Living Indices and Flexible Consumption Behaviour: A partial critique
(National University of Ireland, Galway, 2005)
This paper questions the alleged superiority of superlative prices indices (like the Fisher index) over more standard base year indices (like the Laspeyre index) as measures of changes in the 'cost of living' (COL). The ...
