Abstract
This paper analyzes the empirical relationship between monthly changes in stock prices and the real fluctuations in the economies of Puerto Rico and United States. Even though Puerto Rico has no stock market, the political and economic relationship between both countries seem to bind both in the singular manner, particularly in the free flows of capital, labor, information and the use of a common currency.By submitting a contribution to consideration of the Editorial Board of Fórum Empresarial, the authors attest that it is an original, unpublished work, which has not been nor will be simultaneously submitted to another journal for consideration and publication; that they are responsible for the work carried out and the content of the article; and they have the corresponding copyrights.
