摘要:This study analyzes the main factors which explain Foreign Direct Investgment (FDI) in Latin America, with special reference to the Andean Community, Mercosur-Chile and the block of Central American-Caribbean countries and Mexico. We present an econometric analysis which shows that FDI in the nineteen Latin American countries studied depends basically on the market size, trade openness and country risk, besides some particular circumstances related with privatizations and a few big investments. We also analyze the main features that explain the situation of the least advanced countries in this regard.
