ABSTRACT The austerity policies being implemented in many European countries and in Portugal, particularly as a consequence of the bailout agreement signed between the Portuguese Government and the Troika, bring measures to increase performance and reduce costs. The analysis of Local Governments’ efficiency and the assessment of its determinants is highly relevant for policy purposes. The aim of this research is to evaluate the efficiency of the 278 mainland municipalities in Portugal with a two-stage procedure, combining DEA methods in a first phase with fractional response models in the second stage.

Scenographic Interventions in Portuguese Romantic Architecture ABSTRACT When Kant established the noumenon1 as the limit of knowledge in his Critique of Judgment, he set off a reaction among the most distinguished philosophers of the infinite: Fischte, Schilling, and Hegel. This consciousness of the infinite and its analysis through the feeling of the sublime was the basis of all European Romanticism, as well as of the artistic currents that flowed from it. Although the theme of the sublime has been studied since Longinus, it was Hegel who extended the concept through the analysis of space and time in his The Philosophy of Nature, because nature as de-termination2 of the idea necessarily falls in space and time.3 Consequently, the artistic achievement of that era could only be a figurative representation of the sublime and the integration of all arts in a whole with the purpose of awakening the feeling of Gesamtkunstwerk.
