This publication characterises the Portuguese municipalities from a purchasing power perspective, based on a set of indicators obtained from a factor analysis model. This study presents three indicators: Per capita indicator; Percentage of purchasing power; Relative dynamics factor.
The advantage of these indicators is that they constitute information at municipality level, which is the territorial unit for which there is scarcity of available statistical information. This publication contains a CD-ROM which allows the user-friendly export of data to several worksheets, enabling data to be freely treated and crossed with information from other sources or nature.
