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 UR - http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0103-63512005000300006 UR - http://biblioteca.unm.edu.ar/libros/unit.pdf ER -
