Los resultados muestran que la demanda económica incide positivamente sobre la IED, mientras que los costos de producción influyen de manera negativa; el nivel educativo tiene una relación directa, así como la fuerza laboral. Finalmente, la corrupción muestra una relación inversa pero carece de nivel de confianza. Se concluye que la IED busca localizarse, generalmente, en los países donde existe mayor demanda económica, aunque los países con salarios más bajos también son atractivos. Finalmente, la corrupción no es un factor que influya de manera contundente sobre las decisiones de los inversionistas en los países de la Cuenca del Pacífico.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract Focusing in Pacific Rim countries, this article aims to identify and analyze the influencers to attract foreign direct investment (FDI). Using panel data for foreign direct investment between 1989 and 2012, we find that FDI was affected positively by economic demand, while production costs influenced negatively; the education levels had a direct relationship, as well as the workforce. Finally, corruption showed an inverse relationship, but lacks confidence level. We conclude that FDI seeks generally located in countries whit greater economic demand, although countries with lower wages are also attractive. Finally, corruption is not a factor affecting forcefully on decisions of investors in the Pacific Rim countries.]]></p></abstract>
