Institutions and economic development (nineteenth century): Contribution to a research agenda

Miriam Halpern Pereira

Abstract


The recent financial and economic crisis has renewed the interest in the relationship between institutions and the economy. The aim of this overview is to analyse the consequences that institutional changes, liberal constitutions and legal framework, and also the financial policy and the creation of the modern banking structure, had on the economic development of Portugal during the nineteenth century.
