Title: Did Tariffs Matter That Much? Ireland since the 1920s

Author(s): Cormac Ó Gráda

Publication Date: May 1988

Keyword(s): Commercial Policy, Economic History, Ireland and Tariff

Programme Area(s): International Trade and Regional Economics

Abstract: The contrasting tariff regimes of Northern and Southern Ireland after 1932 must have influenced industrial structure and specialization.

Here it is argued, using a time-series approach, that it cannot.
