This paper incorporates demand and supply fundamentals in the determination of the Real Exchange Rate (RER). We are able to confirm the negative influence of the ratio expenditure-PIB and the terms of trade on RER, but in addition we find robust evidence of the presence of the effect Balassa-Samuelson. We do not find, however, the existence of a negative impact of the public expenditure on the RER, in addition to the gathered one in the Salter-Swan effect. Finally, we also provide evidence indicating that the effect of this last variable defers according to the composition of production and levels of unemployment.
