Factores determinantes de la inversión extranjera directa en algunos países de Latinoamérica
Abstract
El trabajo de investigación pretende exponer los determinantes que motivan a las firmas extranjeras a invertir y operar en los diecinueve países latinoamericanos, únicamente bajo el enfoque de los factores condicionantes que representan las características intrínsecas de estos países en la atracción de la inversión y no así de los factores internos de las firmas inversoras. De esta manera, en el presente estudio se trata de corroborar en qué medida la Inversión Extranjera Directa (IED) depende del tamaño de mercado, la apertura comercial, el riesgo-país, los costes laborales de estos países y las entradas atípicas de inversiones (privatizaciones y entradas inesperadas de IED). En este contexto, primero se realiza una breve descripción teórica para luego dar paso a un análisis descriptivo, el cual es formalizado por modelos econométricos que contemplan datos de panel para diecinueve países, cuyo espacio temporal pretende abarcar los años comprendidos entre 1990 y 2003.
The research work pretends to expose the determinant factors that encourage foreign firms to invest and operate in the nineteen latin-american countries, solely, by the conditioning factors approach that represent the intrinsic characteristics of these countries in the attraction of investment, and not (as a function of) the internal factors of the investing firms. As such, this study tries to corroborate to what extent the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is a function of the size of the market, the commercial aperture, the country risk, labour costs of these countries and the atypical investments inputs -privatization and unexpected FDI inputs -. In this context, a brief theoretical description is done in order to give way to a descriptive analysis, which is formalized by econometric models that contemplate panel data for nineteen countries and with a timeframe comprised between 1990 and 2003.
