Special Issue context

 

PT

Pedro Nogueira Ramos, Professor Catedrático da Faculdade de Economia da Universidade de Coimbra e um dos membros mais destacados da Associação Portuguesa de Desenvolvimento Regional deixou-nos fisicamente no ano de 2021.  Durante uma década assegurou o lugar de Diretor da Revista Portuguesa de Estudos Regionais (RPER), contribuindo para a sua afirmação a nível nacional e internacional. Nas funções que desempenhou a nível académico, mas também como Diretor das Contas Nacionais do INE ou membro do Conselho Económico e Social, são abundantes os seus trabalhos e análises que olharam a economia a partir do território conjugando métodos de análise económica com o estudo da geografia e da demografia. O Pedro Ramos sempre se assumiu como um verdadeiro apologista e defensor da ciência regional, pelo que é de elementar justiça e da maior relevância científica homenagear a sua obra e o seu legado.

Pedro Nogueira Ramos, Full Professor at the Faculty of Economics of the University of Coimbra and one of the most prominent members of the Portuguese Association for Regional Development (APDR), physically left us in 2021. For a decade, he held the position of Director of the Portuguese Journal of Regional Studies (RPER), contributing to its affirmation at national and international level. As a Professor, but also as Director of National Accounts at Statistics Portugal (INE) or member of the Portuguese Economic and Social Council, his works and reflexions, that looked at the economy from the perspective of the territory, are abundant, combining economic analysis methods with the study of geography and demographics. Pedro Ramos has always assumed himself as a true apologist and supporter of regional science, so it is of elementary justice and of the greatest scientific relevance to pay homage to his work and legacy.
