The profile of productive specialization and the characteristics of the Portuguese business fabric are two core structural constraints to the development of the Portuguese economy, which help to explain its dismal growth since the beginning of the century and the vulnerability of the national economy to the international crises of the last decade. As in other countries, there are several public policies in Portugal that aim to promote structural changes in the productive fabric. My medium-term work program focuses on analyzing the nature and impacts of industrial and innovation policies in Portugal, by taking a comparative perspective whenever possible.
