A blog on the Portuguese economy

WHO – We are a group of economists and economic historians who like to think about the Portuguese economy in an international context;
WHAT – We deal with the Portuguese economy and her troubles to catch-up to her neighbours' levels of income per capita;
WHERE – We are based in universities in a few countries across the Globe, namely, in Portugal, Canada, the US, Spain and Britain;
WHEN – We deal mainly with present times, but also with bits of historical perspective;
WHY - The Portuguese economy is an interesting topic for many reasons: it is small, but it is neither Belgium, Greece or, for that matter, Andalusia; it is developed and yet still not fully developed. Lessons for European economic integration abound.
For suggestions and post submissions please write to Pedro Lains (Editor) at Ricardo1772@gmail.com. Posts are in English, but we welcome comments in Portuguese too.

  1. Excelente ideia, já vos tenho no meu google reader... oops — I almost forgot — english spoken (written) here. It's great to find some friends (of the ones I agree with, and the ones I disagree, you both know who you are...) and I look forward to learning a lot reading a blog. There's nothing like looking at your country as if you were a foreigner.

    One question: is the list of contributors closed, or shall we expect to find a broader range of perspectives in the blog?

    Good luck, and good work, you all
