Abstract

The goal of this chapter is to examine the possible effects of an Irish default on the European economy as a whole. We will look at the past performance of the Irish economy, examine the types of debt Ireland holds at the moment in some detail, and discuss what type of default Ireland might engage in. We will finish by sketching out the possible consequences for the European economy and the Euro-area of such a default.

Keywords: default, Ireland, Irish economy
