The Portuguese Economy Towards 1992: Proceedings of a conference sponsored by Junta Nacional de Investigação Científica e Tecnológica and Banco de Portugal

The Portuguese Economy Towards 1992 addresses the issues and problems faced by Portugal as it approaches European economic integration in 1992. Chapters are based on papers presented at a conference held in Vimeiro, Portugal, on March 23 and 24, 1991, and address topics which include business cycles, the European Monetary System, foreign direct investment and trade. In addition, a group of chapters focuses on labor issues: wage gaps, mobility and productivity.
This analysis of the highly open and semi-developed Portuguese economy will serve as a relevant model for other economies having to deal with integration.
