Foreign direct investment in Latin America

This study analyzes inflows by sector and inflows by industry, as well as detailed data of sales and exports for a very large number of multinational enterprises with a presence in Latin America, in order to infer the main host-country determinants and the associated investors' motivation for their activities in the region. After looking at the general host-country determinants and the main motives of multinational enterprises from around the world, an assessment of the Canadian enterprises' motives for investing in the region is conducted, in order to contrast and validate possible determinants and motives when manufacturing activities are outclassed by primaryinput- related activities and output-(market-) related activities in the services sector.
In general, this is a comprehensive research that combines econometrics, statistical analysis and field studies to gain a broad understanding of the subject.
