This paper analyzes price convergence of 34 cities in relation to Mexico City. We use panel data unit root test with structural changes methodology proposed by Im et al. (2005). The results do not reject the intranational relative price parity for 34 cities, both to the general price level and the prices of seven specific markets at panel level. The results suggest that prices in cities are strongly related and there is a long-run convergence prices in relation to Mexico City.
