Abstract

This paper presents and estimates a macroeconometric rationing model, using Portuguese data for the. period 1955-1979. Contrary to similar models found in the literature, the theoretical approach adopted in this study does not require the assumption of fully discrete regime nor that of a continuous framework. Instead, an intermediate specification is proposed which conserves the presence of regimes but involves no discrete jumps from one regime to another. The presence of the min operator and the specification of a "clay-clay" production function raises a number, of estimation problems. These are overcome by the use of some appropriate transformations and the adoption of a nonlinear two-stage least-squares procedures. The results shed some light on the performances of the Portuguese economy during the period and afford a neat interpretation of the structural changes induced by the revolution of april 25th 1974.
