Summary: The two most important international databases with Portuguese GDP per capita and productivity from the 1950s onwards (GGDC and Ameco) offer two contrasting pictures of its evolution, especially during the slowdown of 1973 to the mid-1980s. The main problem is the low quality of the underlying data for population and employment. This paper offers new estimates for population and employment and recalculates GDP per capita and productivity between 1950 and 2007. Although confirming the main idea advanced in GGDC (a similar slowdown of GDP per capita and productivity), the series are different, and should be viewed as the new benchmark for the Portuguese economy.

O principal problema é a qualidade dos dados de base sobre população e emprego. Oferecem-se aqui novas estimativas e apresentam-se novos cálculos do PIB per capita e da produtividade do trabalho entre 1950 e 2007. Confirma-se a ideia transmitida em GGDC (abrandamento semelhante do PIB per capita e produtividade), mas as séries são diferentes, devendo as séries aqui apresentadas ficar como as novas referências para a economia portuguesa.Instituto de Ciências Sociais da Universidade de Lisboa2009-12-30info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.31447/AS00032573.2009193.06https://doi.org/10.31447/AS00032573.2009193.06Análise Social; Vol. 44 N.º 193 (2009); 767-7912182-29990003-2573reponame:Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP)instname:FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiainstacron:RCAAPenghttps://revistas.rcaap.pt/analisesocial/article/view/29773https://revistas.rcaap.pt/analisesocial/article/view/29773/21241Direitos de Autor (c) 2009 Análise Socialinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAmaral, Luciano2024-02-17T05:47:08Zoai:ojs.revistas.rcaap.pt:article/29773Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireinfo@rcaap.ptopendoar:https://opendoar.ac.uk/repository/71602025-05-28T10:51:45.792021Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP) - FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiafalse
