| dc.description | Read before the Society, 14 January 1988 - "This lecture is delivered under the auspices of the Barrington Trust (founded
in 1986 by the bequest of John Barrington, Esq ) with the collaboration of the
Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland ".
In 1984 the Council of the Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland established a
competition to select the author of an Annual Barrington Lecture to replace the former
system of appointment of Barrington Lecturers who delivered lectures in the four provinces
throughout the year. The competition will be held annually and is open to Irish graduates
within 10 years of primary qualification to submit a paper on economic policy and analysis of
current interest in Ireland. The 1987 prize-winning lecture is presented here. | en |
| dc.description.abstract | This paper outlines the results of an empirical study of the repealed
comparative advantage of Irish exports of manufactures during the period
1969-1982.
The concept of comparative advantage is central to the theory of international
trade. This study involved the measurement of the evolution over time of the
revealed comparative advantage of the different sub-sectors which constitute
Irish manufacturing industry.
The paper is organised as follows. Section 2 outlines the theoretical
background. Section 3 deals with the approaches used for the measurement
of comparative advantage and for the classification of industrial sectors. An
analysis of the pattern of revealed comparative advantage by industrial sector
is described in Section 4. These results are evaluated within a theoretical
framework in Section 5. Section 6 tentatively explores the implications of the
conclusions drawn in the earlier sections for the discussion of industrial policy
issues. | en |
