Abstract

The theme of unit roots in macroeconomic time series has received a great amount of theoretical and applied research in the last two decades. This paper presents some of the main issues regarding unit root tests, explores some of the implications for macroeconomic theory and policy, and reviews the recent evidence on the presence of unit roots in GDP series for Latin American countries. We conclude that a consensual view on many of the aspects involved has not emerged from this literature.A existência de raízes unitárias em series temporais macroeconômicas tem sido objeto de extensa pesquisa teórica e empírica nas últimas duas décadas. O presente artigo discute algumas das principais questões relacionadas a testes de raízes unitárias, explora algumas implicações para teoria e política macroeconômica, e apresenta a evidencia recente sobre a existência de raízes unitárias em séries de PIB em países da América Latina. O artigo conclui que não se formou um consenso a respeito de várias das questões envol- vidas nesse debate.
