SANTILLI, Evangelina. Country Risk in South America and Mexico. A panel data study. Anál. econ. [online]. 2021, vol.36, n.91, pp.181-210.  Epub 21-Abr-2021. ISSN 2448-6655.

This research paper identifies the determinant factors of country risk in Latin American economies. Over the last years, in some of those countries, country risk exhibited considerable variability. This investigation is motivated by the abrupt variations in country risk, since this indicator is determinate by fluctuation in economic underpinnings, both locally and internationally. In the same way, this study intends to act as a useful instrument in decision making, when planning and conducting public policies for growth by attracting investments. The data used corresponds to the study of 8 Latin American economies during the period 1993 to 2019. The results show the significant importance, both statistically and economically, of the international interest rate and external debt. The results are in line with previous studies.

Palabras llave : country risk; Latin American economies; macroeconomic fundamentals; global market climate; E43; F34; G15.
