Abstract(s)
The Portuguese economy underwent a
process of growth and structural
transformation during the twentieth
century, while the last two decades
conveyed a period of considerable
creative destruction of firms. Indeed,
following a period of rapid economic
expansion in the second half of the 1990s,
the deterioration of the economic
situation felt since 2001 contributed to the
deceleration of economic growth, which
has also had an impact on firm
turbulence. Using Quadros de Pessoal
and the Eurostat and OECD methodology
(Manual on Business Demography
Statistics), this article describes employer
enterprise dynamics in Portugal over
1985-2007, and discusses the main
stylized facts related to firm creation,
performance, and firm size distribution by
region and sector
