Abstract (EN): In this paper we look at the state of Portuguese research in economics, with an emphasis on the 2000-2019 period. For this purpose we use three distinct data sets, namely on publications, citations, and the situation of economics researchers in Portuguese universities. Over the last 20 years, the number of publications in international journals that show affiliations to Portuguese institutions as well as publications by Portuguese authors with foreign affiliations increased considerably. However, after peaking in 2013, the number of publications has since decreased. This may be partly due to the 2010-2014 financial crisis that imposed several restrictions on Portuguese universities, but other factors may also have contributed to the decline.
