In this paper we provide an empirical test of the long-run Fisher effect for the Spanish case, using quarterly data for the period 1962-1996. To this end, we make use of some new techniques on unit roots and cointegration, where the presence of possible structural changes in the trend of the series is explicitly considered. The results indicate the existence of a partial Fisher effect in the long-run, with a transmission to the nominal interest rate of roughly one third for each point increase in the inflation rate.
