Politico-economic determinants of protectionism in Portugal : a cross-section analysis for the year 1982
| Resumo: | The purpose of this study is to account for the differences in protection against imports (exercised both through restrictions on trading transactions established in Customs Tariff and through non-tariff protection) among industries in Portugal, as the outcome of politico-economic factors. The year chosen was 1982, the most recent year for which data was available. The conclusions are considered to be applicable from 1977 to 1985, because it can be considered that the protectionist structure was relatively stable during this period. It was marked by the establishment of protectionist apparatus following the politico-economic changes of 197 4, which prevailed until the adoption of the trade laws resulting from postulating EEC membership. This analysis restricts itself to the manufacturing industry. In other activities, especially in agriculture, protection has details and complexities worthy of their own study. |
