Good Morning,
Just wondering if there are any other events that are comming up in relation to the event on the 31st January? “Irish Economic Policy Conference 2014: Economic Policy after the Bailout”
I cannot attend the event on this date.
Hi Gerard, we’ll certainly record this conference and put the talks up here, but as far as I know, the next event is the Irish economic association meetings in May, 8-9, in Limerick.
Minor point:
I was NOT a ‘bailout’ – it was a BAIL_IN of the citizen-serfs.
Must say, a fairly ‘radical’ line-up; on with the revolution.
Minor point but one to keep thepropertypin types happy…
The title of my presentation actually includes a question mark: “Household expectations and the housing market: from bust to boom?”
For those curious, I’ll be discussing the findings of the latest survey of sentiment in relation to the housing market. This is the survey’s third year and in that period the housing market in Dublin has gone from double-digit falls to double-digit rises. How expectations evolved and where they stand now is a very relevant topic in this age of macroprudential policy, I would argue.
