Abstract

Sometemos a prueba el principio de paridad del poder de compra (PPP) en una muestra de 17 países de América Latina en el periodo 1960-2016. Con tal fin empleamos dos pruebas relativamente novedosas de panel propuestas por Pesaran (2007) y Hadri y Rao (2008). La primera permite probar el PPP en todos los posibles pares de tipos de cambio real entre las monedas de los países considerados mientras que la segunda prueba permite identificar y validar diferentes versiones del PPP que pueden caracterizar el tipo de cambio real bilateral de cada país con respecto al dólar de los Estados Unidos. Esta última prueba contempla la posibilidad de que las series que conforman el panel presenten una ruptura estructural heterogénea entre los individuos, muestren dependencia de sección cruzada y que los residuos estén correlacionados serialmente. Los resultados de la prueba de Pesaran (2007) sugieren el cumplimiento del PPP en todos los posibles pares de tipos de cambio real analizados mientras que los resultados de la prueba de Hadri y Rao (2008) validan diferentes versiones del PPP en los tipos de cambio reales bilaterales de los países de la región con respecto al dólar de los Estados Unidos.
