New working paper announcement! Ever wondered why Irish is such an endangered language? Joint work with Alan Fernihough and Eoin McLaughlin (@eoinaldo) crunches the numbers. We argue language loss was driven by endogenous demand for English, not exogenous policy imposition.

Episode 3 of @10Things_ToKnow on 18th November dives into food security. The challenges of growing food in Ireland amidst extreme weather and global instability. @ClioChris from #AICEEHP project @QUBelfat @ceph_ie @tcddublin shares key insights

@GrahamBrownlow @LongInitiative @ProfJohnTurner @eoinaldo "7.17 How can organisations, with a particular focus on public bodies, most effectively learn lessons from (i) crisis response; and (ii) systemic policy problems; and address them?"

@LongInitiative @ProfJohnTurner @ClioChris @eoinaldo Bad news: gap between what HMT wants and what the REF often rewards. Good news: Some of the ARIs listed in the document are questions being addressed by economic & financial historians of the UK and elsewhere (e.g 1.3, 4.11)

Read our short summary of the paper on @The_EHES Positive Check blog: "To heap or not to heap, that is the question": ehes.org/2024/08/14/to-…

There are so many age heaping papers out there today. We think this is because it is an easy-to-calculate measure using readily available census data. But what heaping really means is open to debate. We encourage colleagues in economic history to join this debate.
