Abstract

Este estudio muestra evidencia empírica sobre la relación entre inversión extranjera directa (FDI) y desigualdad en el ingreso en países de Latinoamérica, usando técnicas de cointegración en datos de panel. Las variables fueron modeladas con información sobre las medidas de FDI acumulada y el índice Estimated Household Income Inequality (EHII) para un panel de 10 países durante el periodo 1990-2008. El análisis empírico encuentra relación positiva, donde mayor FDI se asocia a mayor desigualdad en el ingreso, como también causalidad de largo plazo desde FDI hacia desigualdad en el ingreso, mas no en dirección opuesta. ***** This study shows empirical evidence on the relationship between inward foreign direct investment (FDI) and income inequality in Latin American countries by using panel cointegration techniques. The data was built with the measures of stock inward FDI and the income inequality index Estimated Household Income Inequality (EHII) for a 10-country panel. The empirical analysis finds long-term relationship and causality from FDI to Income Inequality but no short run causality can be concluded.
