0 An Economic Analysis of the Living Wage in Northern Ireland (CEE Report Eight) - Oxford Economics /NICVA_CEE/an-economic-analysis-of-the-living-wage-in-northern-ireland nicvalivingwage2014-140910110511-phpapp01
This report, the eighth published by NICVA’s Centre for Economic Empowerment, estimates the economic impact of raising the pay of all workers in Northern Ireland to the level of the Living Wage. The authors conclude that the Living Wage could be adopted without net economic detriment, and may even result in a net economic gain. The Living Wage is a key indicator of low pay. It is the hourly rate that would provide a full-time worker with a basic, but acceptable, standard of living. In Northern Ireland the Living Wage is currently £7.65; approximately one quarter of employees earn less than this benchmark. One of the most troubling aspects of the long boom which preceded the 2008 crash was how low pay became more prevalent at the same time as profits flourished and wages soared at the top end of the labour market. This not only jarred with many people’s sense of fairness and undermined bonds of social solidarity; it also contributed to rising economic inequality, a major cause of the recession and a source of various social and economic problems. Eradicating low pay is therefore a key element of creating a good economy. While the ethical case for paying employees the Living Wage resonates widely, there is less agreement on the economic consequences. Higher labour costs could result in reduced profits and investment, as well as job losses and inflation. Others claim that raising wage levels would improve workers’ productivity, boost consumer spending, and therefore employment. In this context the economic implications merit careful consideration. Given this positive appraisal it is interesting to note that many campaigners do not advocate raising the statutory Minimum Wage to the level of the Living Wage. Rather, they target specific employers who they believe can afford to pay their low-wage workers more. The findings of this report suggest that it is perhaps time for the Living Wage campaign to become more ambitious. At the very least, ensuring that every worker receives a decent wage should be adopted as a long-term goal.

0 A Land Value Tax for Northern Ireland (CEE Report Seven) - Ronán Lyons and Andy Wightman /slideshow/a-land-value-tax-for-northern-ireland-cee-report-seven/36337471 alandvaluetaxfornorthernireland16june-140626085208-phpapp02
In 2008 Northern Ireland experienced a severe property crash. The extreme rise in house prices which preceded the crash was, at the time, broadly welcomed as a sign of growing prosperity. But it is now clear that while some vested interests benefited, the property bubble caused significant social and economic damage. The prospect of speculative gains diverted investment away from productive outlets and into inflating property prices. Soaring house prices led households to take on onerous mortgages, debts which will long stifle spending and investment. And when the bubble burst, construction collapsed, meaning many people faced unemployment. Avoiding a re-emergence of a real estate bubble should be an economic priority for government. This report, the seventh in our research series, proposes a solution. It explains how a Land Value Tax could operate in Northern Ireland to prevent speculation on land - a major cause of real estate bubbles. Significantly, because it involves reforming the rates system, this is a solution within the power of Northern Ireland’s Assembly and District Councils. House prices in Northern Ireland are on the rise again. As before, this has been widely welcomed as an indication of economic progress. It is important to ensure that any price rises are a sustainable result of real economic growth, rather than speculation. In this context, this report is crucial reading.
