Burn Everything British but their Coal: the Anglo-Irish Economic War of the 1930s
研究1932-1938年英爱经济战,通过一般均衡模型发现战争福利成本低于预期,且帮助德瓦莱拉赢得选举,解释了爱尔兰最终“胜利”的原因。
The Anglo-Irish Economic War of 1932 to 1938 was eventually settled on terms highly favorable to the Irish. This article uses a computational general equilibrium model of the interwar Irish economy to argue that the welfare costs of the war were not so great as has been thought, and that the dispute helped de Valera electorally. These considerations help explain the eventual Irish “victory” in the Economic War.
