Portuguese Economic Journal, 1(1):3-251617-982X (print)1617-9838 (online)http://hdl.handle.net/10400.5/15454In this paper I analyze the state of Portuguese research in economics based on publications in international journals for the period of 1986 to 2000. I find that scientific production is increasing but productivity remains low. I also provide a revealing characterization of the production habits of Portuguese re- searchers by answering the following questions: where do Portuguese researchers publish? who are the most active publishers? how often do they publish? how much do they collaborate? what is their background? Finally, I analyze the impact of that research based on citation counts.engResearch in economicsSociology of economicsCitation analysesjournal article10.1007/s10258-001-0003-7
