Abstract
Este artículo estudia los determinantes de la Inversión Extranjera Directa
(IED) en América Latina desde una perspectiva novedosa. Demuestra que los
denominados efectos de transvase y de confianza, definidos a partir de la
posición que cada país ocupa en la red mundial de fusiones y adquisiciones,
influyen positivamente en la recepción de inversión extranjera. Se emplea el
análisis de redes sociales para cuantificar los efectos de trasvase y confianza,
y se aplican modelos con datos de panel para estimar la relevancia de las
diversas variables en la recepción de los flujos financieros. Los resultados confirman
que los efectos de confianza y transvase influyen positivamente sobre la llegada de IED. Los modelos permiten identificar también grupos de países
con diferencias en esta relación
This article studies the determinants of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Latin America from a novel perspective. It shows that the so-called transfer and trust effects, defined by each country’s position in the international mergers and acquisitions network, have a positive influence on foreign investment inflows. Social network analysis is used to quantify both transfer and trust effects, and models with panel data are applied to estimate the influence of such variables on the receipt of financial flows. The results confirm that both trust and transfer effects have positive influences on FDI inflows. The models also identify groups of countries with clear differences in this relationship
