Peter Neary, a master of the understanding of international trade, and an international leader in the organisation of the economics profession, is generally regarded as the greatest Irish economist of modern times. Known for the elegant rigour and precision with which he presented the arguments and evidence in his research papers, he devised modelling tools that can be used to think clearly about how the economy responds to shocks and policy initiatives, especially in an economy open to foreign trade and investment and even in the presence of oligopolistic multi-product firms.
