Abstract

This article studies the impact of the 2008 economic crisis on the Irish development model. The Republic of Ireland has developed its economy thanks to an FDI-led strategy. This strategy was very successful during the Celtic Tiger period in the 1990s and 2000s. Will the crisis put an end to Ireland’s economic development? If Ireland manages to keep a low corporate tax rate, it appears that the country will be able to carry on with its development model. However, Ireland seems to have almost achieved its catching up with the EU core countries and it will be difficult to reach growth rates similar to those of the Celtic Tiger period.L’Irlande a développé son économie à travers une politique d’ouverture économique et d’attraction des IDE dont le point d’orgue a été le Tigre celtique dans les années 1990 et 2000. Cet article étudie l’impact de la crise économique de 2008 sur le modèle de développement économique irlandais. Il apparaît que le modèle peut encore être valide, si l’Irlande parvient à préserver sa politique fiscale. Toutefois, il est peu probable que le pays puisse encore espérer des taux de croissance nettement plus élevés que le reste de l’UE car l’Irlande a fini son rattrapage économique.
