Abstract
Although the 2007–2008 US credit crisis precipitated it, the
subsequent Irish credit crisis is an identifiably separate one, which
might have occurred in the absence of the U.S. crash. The
distinctive differences between them are notable. Many of the
apparent causal factors of the U.S. crisis are missing in the Irish
case; and the same applies vice versa. At a deeper level, we identify
four common features of the two credit crises: capital bonanzas,
asset price bubbles, regulatory imprudence, and moral hazard. The
particular manifestations of these four “deep” common features
are quite different in the two cases.
