Abstract
La inversión extranjera directa (IED) desempeña un papel esencial en el desarrollo económico de un país al atraer capital, tecnología y conocimiento. La literatura científica ha revelado que acuerdos de reducción de impuestos se relacionan con incrementos del volumen en IED. En este contexto, la presente investigación tiene como propósito determinar el efecto de los impuestos corporativos en los flujos de IED en Ecuador en el periodo 2000-2023. La metodología adoptada es de enfoque cuantitativo, basándose en un diseño longitudinal no experimental, con un alcance descriptivo y explicativo. Los datos fueron obtenidos del Banco Mundial y analizados mediante un modelo de regresión lineal múltiple utilizando el método de mínimos cuadrados ordinarios. Los resultados revelan que la tasa tributaria total, la apertura comercial, la tasa de inflación y el consumo final de los hogares son factores determinantes para atraer la IED en Ecuador. Estos hallazgos proporcionan valiosa orientación para la formulación de políticas económicas destinadas a fomentar esta inversión en el país. Foreign direct investment (FDI) plays a crucial role in the economic development of a country by attracting capital, technology, and knowledge. The scientific literature has revealed that tax reduction agreements are related to increases in FDI volumes. In this context, the aim of this research is to determine the effect of corporate taxes on FDI flows in Ecuador during the period 2000-2023. The methodology adopted is quantitative, based on a non-experimental longitudinal design with a descriptive and explanatory scope. The data were obtained from the World Bank and analyzed using a multiple linear regression model with the ordinary least squares method. The results reveal that the total tax rate, trade openness, inflation rate, and household final consumption are key factors in attracting FDI to Ecuador. These findings provide valuable guidance for the formulation of economic policies aimed at promoting this investment in the country.
