The purpose of this paper is to provide some ¯rst empirical results for the case of the argentine real GDP on the unit-root hypothesis. Full sample statistics and some recent iterative techniques are used to evaluate the presence of a unit root and the possibility of a trend-break process. Our empirical results do not allow us to reject the null of unit root in the real GDP process for Argentina.
