We are getting to the stage with some of the topics in the reading group that we should now "embargo" them from the blog so that the research can be done. Two of the topics are beginning to crystalise and i will blog separately on the children's economic decision making topic.
We also talked about Martin Ryan's PhD topic on the determinants of time useage among university students. Michael Daly will be talking at some stage about his PhD research on self-regulation and affect. Dave Comerford will also talk about behavioural determinants of transport choice. In general, this all will make a nice session at the New Economists conference.
Suicide and Public Expenditure
This project examines the time series behaviour of male and female suicide rates in Ireland, Wales, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales and how it reacts to changes in public health spending particularly spending on mental health initiatives.
Long Run Determinants of Health
This project draws from the Cutler et al paper in the recent Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. It examiens whether the straitened economic conditions of the emergency had effects on the long-term health of Irish people born in this period.
