Abstract
SAAVEDRA LEYVA, Rafael Eduardo and FLORES ORONA, Carlos H.. The Governance as a Determinant of Foreign Direct Investment in Latin America. Ens. Rev. econ. [online]. 2017, vol.36, n.2, pp.123-145. ISSN 2448-8402.
This paper shows the relationship between foreign direct investment and governance of Latin American countries. In order to avoid multicollinearity problems with the "worldwide governance indicators", we build up a government efficiency index. Overall, the results show that the government efficiency index has a direct and significant relationship to foreign direct investment. Therefore, this paper highlights the role of governance to attract foreign investors.
