Conraria, Luís Aguiar; Alexandre, Fernando; Bação, Pedro; Cerejeira, João; Portela, MiguelNIPE Policy Paper ; Nos últimos anos, vários países reduziram as contribuições das empresas para a Segurança Social com o objectivo de melhorar a competitividade externa das economias e estimular a criação de emprego. Nesta linha, o governo português propôs uma descida da contribuição das empresas para a Segurança Social ao mesmo tempo que aumenta a contribuição dos trabalhadores, resultando num aumento das co...

Portugal before and after the European Union : facts on nontradables
Alexandre, Fernando; Bação, PedroThe rise of nontradable sectors has been mentioned as one of the causes of low economic growth and external imbalances in the Portuguese economy. In this paper we describe the main trends and jumps in the evolution of nontradable sectors, since the mid-1950s, using four different databases to shed light on different dimensions of this issue. We show that, despite the pattern of the growth of the share of servic...
A poupança em Portugal
Alexandre, Fernando; Conraria, Luís Aguiar; Bação, Pedro; Portela, MiguelWP NIPE 29/2011 ; A forte e contínua redução da taxa de poupança da economia portuguesa nas últimas décadas foi, até à crise financeira internacional, um facto largamente ignorado por especialistas e decisores de política. Esta diminuição acentuada da taxa de poupança teve como reflexo o aumento exponencial do défice e da dívida externas, o que deveria ter feito soar os sinais de alarme. No entanto, apesar de ...
Employment, exchange rates and labour market rigidity
Alexandre, Fernando; Bação, Pedro; Cerejeira, João; Portela, MiguelThere is increasing evidence that the interaction between shocks and labour market institutions is crucial to understanding the dynamics of employment. In this paper, we show that the inclusion of labour adjustment costs in a trade model affects the impact of exchange rate movements on employment. We also explore how labour market rigidities interact with the degree of exposure to international competition and ...
Manufacturing employment and exchange rates in the Portuguese economy : the rol...
Alexandre, Fernando; Bação, Pedro; Silva, João C. Cerejeira da; Portela, MiguelIntegration into the world economy, specialization in low-technology sectors and labour market rigidity have been singled out as structural features of the Portuguese economy that are crucial for the understanding of its performance. In this paper, we explore empirically the role of openness, technology and labour market rigidity in the determination of the effect of the exchange rate on the dynamics of employm...

Employment and exchange rates: the role of openness and technology
Alexandre, Fernando; Bação, Pedro; Cerejeira, João; Portela, MiguelReal exchange rate movements are important drivers of the reallocation of resources between sectors of the economy. Economic theory suggests that the impact of exchange rates should vary with the degree of exposure to international competition and with the technology level. This paper contributes by bringing together these two views, both theoretically and empirically. We show that both the degree of openness a...
Aggregate and sector-specific exchange rate indexes for the Portuguese economy
Alexandre, Fernando; Bação, Pedro; Cerejeira, João; Portela, MiguelEconomic theory and empirical evidence suggest that fluctuations in exchange rates may have strong reallocation effects. Accession to the Exchange Rate Mechanism in 1992, and then to the European Monetary Union in 1999, implied a drastic change in the behaviour of Portugal's exchange rate indexes. The analysis of those indexes is therefore bound to play an important role in the study of the evolution of the Por...
Aggregate and sector-specific exchange rate indexes for the Portuguese economy
Alexandre, Fernando; Bação, Pedro; Cerejeira, João; Portela, MiguelIn this paper, we compute and compare aggregate and sector-specific exchange rate indexes for the Portuguese economy. We find that alternative effective exchange rate indexes are very similar between them. We also find that sector-specific effective exchange rates are strongly correlated with aggregate indexes. Nevertheless, we show that sector-specific exchange rates are more informative than aggregate exchang...
