Welcome to the

Portuguese Economic Journal
July 5-7 2024 - Faro, Portugal
The Portuguese Economic Journal aims to publish high-quality theoretical, empirical, applied or policy-oriented research papers on any field in economics. The geographical reference in the name of the journal only means that the journal is an initiative of Portuguese scholars. There will be no bias in favour of particular topics and issues.
The Portuguese Economic Journal 2024 Conference is an international generalist conference in economics. Researchers from all fields of economics are invited to participate. Since its first edition in 2007, this annual conference has been a lively forum for exchange between researchers from all over the world.
