Having been proposed as corresponding member of the 6th section (political economy) of the Lisbon Academy of Science by António Manuel Pinto Barbosa, Manuel Jacinto Nunes, Paulo de Pitta e Cunha and others, I was unanimously elected at the plenary session of November 27, 1997.

I am preparing my first communication with the tentative title From Real to Euro, via Escudo. It will draw on a conference presented at Turf Club in Lisbon on November 27, 1997 titled The forgotten inheritance of the real (1435-1911) and on the following recent papers:

War, Taxes and Gold: the inheritance of the real (with Álvaro Ferreira da Silva e Rita Martins de Sousa), presented in a conference in Buenos Aires, April 1997.

Europa e Lusofonia, Política e Financeira: Uma Interpretação, in Ensaios de Homenagem a Manuel Jacinto Nunes, Lisboa: Instituto Superior de Economia e Gestão, 1996.

Portugal and European Monetary Union: Selling Stability at Home, Earning Credibility Abroad, in Monetary Reform in Europe, edited by Francisco Torres, Lisbon: Universidade Católica 1996.

Currency Convertibility: The Gold Standard and Beyond, editor (with Barry Eichengreen and Jaime Reis), London: Routledge 1996.

Convertibility and Stability 1834-1994: Portuguese Currency Experience Revisited, in Ensaios de Homenagem a Francisco Pereira de Moura, Lisbon: Instituto Superior de Economia e Gestão, 1995.
