An analysis of industrial closures: Irish experience 1960–1973
O'Farrell P. N. (1976) An analysis of industrial closures: Irish experience 1960–1973, Reg. Studies 10, 433–448. There has been a marked dearth of research concerned with systematically testing a series of hypotheses relating to the closure of an industrial plant. This paper attempts to fill this gap by analysing the closures of grant-aided establishments locating in Ireland under the Industrial Development Authority's New Industry scheme. It tests hypothesized relationships between, on the one hand, non-closure or closure, and on the other, age, size, sector, organisational type, nationality, regional and town size location. Of the postulated relationships, the findings that survival is independent of age and that the chance of survival is a linear function of size were the most significant.
