Abstract

Los flujos de inversión extranjera directa (IED) son uno de los componentes de la globalización que tiene una creciente aceptación en la mayoría de economías del mundo. En este trabajo se exploran los determinantes de la inversión de capitales por parte de los inversionistas y companías multinacionales. Se realiza un análisis de regresión con un panel de datos de 167 países para 21 anos, cuyos resultados son contrastados con el caso de Colombia, una economía en que la IED recibida se multiplicó por 10 en una década. Se concluye que cada condición que determina la IED a nivel mundial se dio de manera positiva en Colombia, lo que explica el éxito de la atracción de capitales foráneos. No obstante, la concentración de estos capitales en sectores extractivos tradicionales plantea un reto para diversificar la IED hacia sectores de mayor impacto y sostenibilidad en cuanto a transferencia de conocimiento y desarrollo regional.
