📕New paper out! After a long journey, our work with Mark Regan is published in the International Journal of Microsimulation. We explore how choices in measuring household income affect poverty & inequality estimates. 📘 www.microsimulation.pub/articles/00321
Our third and final national capacity report, commissioned by the Department of Health - Ireland and co-authored with @walshbp.bsky.social , is out today. We find that long-term residential care and home support requirements will rise by at least 60% by 2040, driven primarily by population ageing.

Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI)@esri.ie · last yr.📊 Our latest report, published today, finds that demand for GP consultations in Ireland is projected to rise by at least 23% by 2040 👩⚕️ Requirements for an additional 943 to 1,211 GPs by 2040 are projected, relative to a 2023 headcount of 3,928 GPs.
Delighted to share our latest @esri.ie report, coauthored with @aoifebrick.bsky.social & H. Humes, funded by the Department of Health. We project that Ireland will need at least 40% more inpatient beds in public acute hospitals by 2040, mostly due to population growth & ageing.
Excited to present our paper with Michele Gubello at this year’s IEA! We explore the welfare impact and cost of introducing a UBI. Our findings show that doubling existing welfare benefits can achieve similar reductions in inequality and poverty with a UBI—at a much lower cost.

Delighted to see our paper, “If You Can’t See It, You Can’t Be It!” News Media Engagement and Gender Differences Among Irish Economists, co-authored with @orladoyle.bsky.social published in the winter edition of @econsocrev.bsky.social Full paper available here: esr.ie/index.php/es... 🧵(1/6)
“If You Can’t See It, You Can’t Be It!” News Media Engagement and Gender Differences Among Irish Economists | The Economic and Social Review
Women are under-represented across most facets of economics. One under-investigated area of research is their participation in the media. The absence of female representation may contribute to the perception of economics as a largely male dominated discipline, with consequences for role modelling, influencing public debate, and ultimately policy decisions. Using an online self-reported survey, this study investigates levels of news media engagement among economists in Ireland and the supply-side factors influencing barriers to engaging with the media. We find that women economists are less likely to be invited to participate in news media events compared to their male counterparts. Women are also more likely to refuse to participate and require longer to prepare for an interview. While there are no gender differences regarding feeling equipped to deal with the media, women are less confident and more likely to state that media engagement is not an important part of their working lives. Despite this, women feel a greater responsibility to inform the public about the implications of their research, and to act as role models for junior economists. Our findings suggest that a multi-faceted approach is required to achieve greater gender equality – by economists themselves, who could build media networks and promote their research through different channels; by employers, who could give women economists more time to engage with the media; by journalists, who could better foster and build relationships with women economists; and by representative bodies, who could better communicate the depth and diversity of economists’ areas of expertise.
