A More Detailed Look at the Economy of Portugal

In a prior post (here), I reviewed an journalistic article from the Atlantic (here) that tried to understand the puzzle of Portugal's economy using a sampling of conventional wisdom from macroeconomic analysis. One of the articles mentioned in the piece was published by the prestigious Brookings Institution and written by Prof. Ricardo Reis of Columbia University (here).

The graph above is taken from earlier post and annotated with various historical fictions about the economy of Portugal from A-E. I will refer to each fiction in the discussion below.
