The present work has as main objective to test the existence of the phenomenon known in the economic theory as J-curve being caracterized for the short run trade balance worsening after the real exchange rate depreciation episode. Given the difficulty in the definition of depreciation events of real exchange rate, despite the empirical tests are effected throughout the period of 1980 the 2005, three specific periods in the descriptive analysis will be used where the intense positive variation of the real exchange supplied the ideal scene so that the identification of behavior of possible transitory deterioration of the commercial balances was easily visualized. On the basis of 3 (three) different boardings of econometrical tests, the empirical evidence suggests that the phenomenon of J-curve does not explain the behavior of the trade balance after the occurrence of this episodes.
