Timeline

1845

His dissertation was titled "Agricultural Change and Rural Depopulation: Ireland 1845–76".

Using computable general equilibrium techniques, and detailed statistics on the Irish economy collected by the UK administration, he challenged the hypothesis that Ireland's Great Famine was merely an inevitable acceleration of existing trends.

His work showed that rural depopulation was not linked to relative price changes for agricultural goods, rather that it was driven by a (sudden, Famine-induced) change in the structure of the agricultural industry, in particular the use of potato as an input, as well as greater opportunities for Irish labourers abroad, in particular in the US, due to the again-sudden existence of emigrant networks and information flows back to Ireland.
