Portugal ran a system of public debt from 1500 to 1797 that was characterized by low and decreasing nominal interest rates on issue, without any major upheaval. Despite these features, this experience has attracted little research in either Portuguese or international circles. The FCT-funded Sovereign debt and private credit in Portugal - 1500 to 1797 research project carried out by GHES-CSG (the Economic and Social History Research Group of ISEG -Lisbon School of Economics and Management, University of Lisbon) was designed to fill this major gap in European financial history. The project aims to reconstruct the key variables (debt stocks, debt ratios to GDP and tax revenues, and debt management) and also to observe the performance of the debt service by analyzing the accounts of some of the main holders of debt.
This webinar will be hosted by the GHES-CSG consortium, with the objective to examine the comparative background of the Portuguese case and to discuss the project's preliminary findings with specialists. Participants are expected to present their recent research on the issues covered in the project.
The session will count on the participation of the renowned international academics, Professor Emeritus Larry Neal (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) and Rui Pedro Esteves (Graduate Institute of international and Development Studies, Geneva).

B2B business accounts for more than half of the global economy and is increasingly complex.
B2B sales and marketing cannot be treated as an art, but rather as a process. This process has the sole purpose of helping the customer in a business that is people to people and where trust is fundamental. To achieve this, companies must transform themselves, applying concrete management practices that focus on the creative use of data, but also creating a true B2B culture.
In the uncertain context of the pandemic, this transformation is imperative and digital is an essential tool.
It is in times of crisis that the best leaders emerge!

On November 18th, there will be a Diagonal Seminar "Around the world in five equations", organized by students of Mathematics Applied to Economics and Management (MAEG), with the support of teachers from ISEG's Mathematics Department.
Since the dawn of society, simple polynomial equations have emerged and begun a process of development very close to our own evolution as a civilization. Student Rodrigo Brigham da Silva will take us on a journey through the world and through time, showing the various figures and stories that have surrounded these equations, culminating in the resolution of a problem that has been open for over 300 years.
The session starts at 12:30 p.m. in Auditorium 5 (Ed. Novo Quelhas).
Free entry, subject to room capacity. The safety rules in force in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic will be ensured, namely physical distancing and the mandatory use of a mask.
