On Uncertainty Aversion under Complete Ignorance: Some Further Observations on the Impossibility Results
(National University of Ireland, Galway, 2005)
The paper claims that the Monotone Consistency condition utilized by Baigent in his proof of the impossibility theorem is too strong. We factorize this condition into two different weaker conditions and show that they are ...
To Plough or Play? Modelling Recreational Pursuits on Irish Farm Commonage
(National University of Ireland, Galway, 2007)
In the last decade the demand for rural recreation has increased in Ireland as the population has become increasingly urbanised. Increased affluence, mobility and changing values have also brought new demands with respect ...
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

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 ...
