In Irish manufacturing, the foreign sector accounts for about one half of employment and some % of gross output. The Irish experience therefore provides us with a textbook case study of the effects on an EU host economy of export-oriented FDI. We explore in this paper the structural changes induced by FDI and the effects of FDI on the determinants of growth in Ireland. We also consider some possible adverse effects that may be associated with such strong reliance on multinational investment.

Bradley J. (2006) Evaluating the impact of European Union Cohesion policy in less-developed countries and regions, Regional Studies 40, 189–199. The expansion of Structural Funds since the late 1980s presented European Commission and domestic policy-makers with design and impact evaluation challenges. Such policies moved beyond demand-side stimulation, and were aimed at the promotion of real convergence, mainly through productivity-enhancing, supply-side mechanisms. Research suggests that the ‘macro-models’ are potentially capable of extracting the pure Structural Funds policy impacts from the background of all the other domestic and external shocks that affect the economy at the same time. However, such results only provide imprecise, ballpark impact estimates, and the challenge remains of reconciling bottom-up microanalysis with top-down macroanalysis.

(2006) Evaluer l'impact de la politique de cohésion de l'UE dans les pays et les régions en voie de développement, Regional Studies 40, 189–199. Le développement des Fonds structurels depuis la fin des années 1980 a représenté un challenge à la Commission européenne et aux décideurs nationaux quant à la conception et à l'impact d'évaluation. De telles politiques vont au-delà des incitations par la demande, visant plutôt la promotion de la convergence réelle, largement à partir des mécanismes qui améliorent la productivité par l'offre. La recherche laisse supposer qu'en principe les modèles macro-économiques sont susceptible de dégager les impacts purs de la politique des Fonds structurels dans un contexte de chocs intérieurs et externes qui pourraient conjointement toucher l'économie. Cependant, de tels résultats ne fournissent que des estimations d'impact imprécises approximatives, et il reste à concilier l'analyse micro-économique ascendante avec l'anayse macro-économique descendante.

(2006) Evaluierung der Auswirkung der Kohäsionspolitik der EU in weniger entwickelten Ländern und Regionen, Regional Studies 40, 189–199. Die Ausweitung des Strukturfonds seit den späten achtziger Jahren stellte Policy-maker der europäischen Kommission und der einzelnen Mitgliedstaaten vor Probleme bezüglich der konzeption und Auswirkung von Evaluierung. Policies dieser Art gingen über Ankurbelung der Nachfrageseite hinaus, da sie auf Förderung echter Konvergenz abzielen, hauptsächlich durch Produktivität erhöhende Mechanismen der Angebotseite. Untersuchungen legen nahe, dass die “Makromodelle” potentiell in der Lage sind, die reinen Auswirkungen der Strukturfondspolitik vom Hintergrund aller anderen internen und externen Schocks zu isolieren, welche die Wirtschaft gleichzeitig beeinflussen. Derartige Ergebnisse vermitteln jedoch nur ungenaue Gesamtauswirkungsberechnungen, während die Forderung bestehen bleibt, bottom-up Mikroanalyse und top-down Makroanalyse abzustimmen.
