Project Title

Summary
The Centre for Economics, Policy and History combines Trinity College Dublin and Queen"s University Belfast, two institutions with existing clusters of research excellence in economic history on the island of Ireland. This research hub, funded by the North-South Research Programme of the Government of Ireland, helps both universities increase their capacity and enables them to lead the development of Ireland into a global Centre of Excellence in policy-relevant historical research.

Project Title
 The historical roots of Politically-Motivated Rebellion: Evidence from the Irish Revolution
From
2014
To
2017
Summary
The aim of the proposed project is to investigate whether radical historical events have a long-run impact in the decision to participate in a rebellion. In particular, I intend to test the impact of the Irish famine on the probability of joining the Irish Volunteers and the movement of independence in Ireland during the period 1913-1921. By combining different historical data sources I intend to identify the determinants of those who actively participated in the movement for Independence. I will test the hypothesis of the role of the Irish famine as an exceptional legacy of violence during the period of the Irish revolution.

Project Title
 Migration networks and Information
From
2009
To
2014
Summary
How do information flows matter for remittance behavior? We examine this question using a tailored survey of immigrants in Ireland, including very detailed data on their networks before and after migration (both in the host country and abroad) as well as on the information flows between these immigrants and their networks. We implement a randomized field experiment in which some of the surveyed immigrants are offered the possibility of contacting their networks outside the host country for free from their mobile phones over a varying number of months. We examine the impact that these incremental information flows had on different dimensions of remittance behavior and intentions to return.
