Analisis de la incidencia de la inversion extranjera directa y la inversion nacional, en el crecimiento economico de Chile

Abstract

The research aims to assess the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) and domestic investment on Chile's economic growth. By elucidating the relationship between FDI and domestic investment, the study contributes valuable insights for economic policy formulation and future investments. The findings hold significance in shaping Chile's international perception as an investment destination, potentially influencing its standing in the global economic landscape. Demonstrating that FDI is a significant driver of economic growth could enhance confidence among foreign investors. The project's importance lies in contributing to economic knowledge and guiding strategic decisions for sustainable economic growth in Chile. Understanding the interplay of FDI and domestic investment allows for a balanced approach, promoting stable economic development and mitigating issues like excessive reliance on foreign investment. The study highlights the theory of internationalization as a conceptual framework for understanding the motives and strategies of multinational companies investing abroad. Leveraging data from sources like the Central Bank of Chile, the research analyzes variables such as Chile's economic growth (GDP), FDI, and domestic investment. The hypothesis posits a significant long-term causal relationship between FDI, National Investment (NI), and Chile's Economic Growth (GDP). Statistical analysis using the Eviews 6 software tool confirms that attracting foreign investments and promoting internal investment are imperative for sustainable economic growth in Chile.
