For the previous thing threshold autoregressive models are considered. The idea is that the movements towards the long-run equilibrium need not occur every period but in a specific regime. We find that the specification is better in nonlinear than linear models and the cointegration relation only appears in four of the six analyzed Latin American countries. %U http://www.rae-ear.org/index.php/rae/article/view/56
