It is first shown in this paper that, whenever it exists, the coincidence degree of the left-hand member of an autonomous differential equation x' - g(x) = 0, in the space of periodic functions with fixed period omega, can be computed in terms of the Brouwer degree of g. This result provides efficient continuation theorems specially for omega-periodic perturbations of autonomous systems. Extensions to differential equations in flow-invariant ENR's are also given.
