The Carnation Revolution and economic crisis: A synthetic control analysis (1974-2000)
On 25 April 1974, the “Carnation Revolution” toppled Western Europe's oldest dictatorship, Portugal's Estado Novo . Political instability ensued, leading to a wage explosion, expropriations, and the collapse of an empire that brought back half a million repatriates. As a result, the Portuguese economy slowed from the high growth it had experienced in the 1950s and ’60s. However, disentangling the effects of the revolution from those of the broade…

Until the Second World War the Bank of Portugal (BoP) was a long way from possessing the features normally associated with a central bank. It was still a commercial bank, albeit one that had acquired some central bank functions. The war period was decisive in removing this ambiguity. The change was caused mostly by an unusually large influx of international means of payment (gold and foreign exchange) as a consequence of Portugal's neutrality dur…
Measuring competition in Portuguese commercial banking during the Golden Age (1960–1973)
The institutional environment of Portuguese banking during the Golden Age of economic growth (1950-1973) has been criticised in many accounts. According to various authors, on the one hand it would have granted excessive protection to existing banks, allowing them to obtain high rents, a disincentive for them to compete; on the other, it would have forced them to concentrate their activity excessively on short-term credit instruments, thereby pre…
