For this purpose, after testing for the existence of unit root under the occurrence of structural breaks, cointegration tests have been carried out, with the inclusion of dummy variables to account for it. The results so obtained might imply, in one hand, the rejection of the absolute version of the purchasing power parity hypothesis, and at the other, the non rejection of its relative version.Digital13 p.PortuguêsPPPCointegrationStructural breakA century and a half of purchasing power Parity in Brazil - 1861-2011 a cointegration analysis with structural breaksconference paper
