This document presents a model of the Portuguese manufactured industry based on Keynesian theory. It tests Verdoorn's Law using the specifications of Kaldor (1966) and Rowthorn (1975) for five Portuguese regions from 1995 to 1999. The results show that Kaldor's original specification of Verdoorn's Law, which confirms the presence of increasing returns to scale, is the most robust. At the industry level, the results indicate high economic dynamics.
