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.
