- Economics and COVID-19: A Bibliometric Analysis of the First Months of PublicationsPublication . Mourão, Paulo; Martinho, VítorThis work discusses a bibliometric analysis of the papers published during 2020 about COVID-19 and three relevant economic keywords: GDP, unemployment, and innovation. Considering different outcomes, a significant diversity of journals without the focus on economic issues publishing articles discussing the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic was observed. The authors have also suggested some correlated dimensions between the number of articles authored by researchers affiliated to different universities of diverse countries and the severity of the pandemic indicators observed for these spaces.
- Portuguese Ministers as Political Survivors: an empirical analysis of the first 20 Constitutional GovernmentsPublication . Mourão, Paulo; Martinho, VítorIn this study, we evaluated the proportional risk of Portuguese Prime-Ministers and Ministers leaving office. Materials and Methods: We used consecutive days in office for each one of the 432 citizens who served in a ministerial function since 1976. Results: Exploring several divisions in this population, we concluded that individuals supported by parliamentary majorities, who served after 1986, who had higher educational credentials, and who were members of political parties exhibited lower risks of being exonerated. Conversely, being an aged person, serving during bad economic conditions, assuming several ministries simulta- neously and being in charge of too-specific ministries did not ensure longer political tenures for Portuguese ministers. Discussion: Be- sides being the first empirical assessment of all Portuguese Ministers after 1974, this work shows how higher skills are important assets for Ministers’ tenures and how economic crises are highly stimulating for cabinets’ changes in Portugal, which corresponds to the pat- tern observed in most recent democratic regimens.
