Basadoen el análisis de las tendencias globales y otros factores de largo plazo, laregresión lineal simple de las variables muestra un alto grado de correlaciónentre el tamaño de las economías domésticas (PIB) y el tamaño de los flujosnetos de inversión extranjera directa por país. En el caso de Colombia, losresultados son mejores de lo esperado –a pesar del riesgo político involucrado–,pero el fracaso en los desarrollos de nuevas áreas de exportación,originado en la falta de adecuada infraestructura, plantea un obstáculomayor para el crecimiento sostenido basado en proyectos de inversión quemejoren la eficiencia de la economía y la competitividad.application/pdfspaRevista científica Pensamiento y GestiónRevista científica Pensamiento y Gestión; No 24: Ene-Jun 2008instname:Universidad del Nortereponame:Repositorio Digital de la Universidad del Nortethe pattern of flows of direct foreign investment in the countries of Latin America (1991-2005)El patrón de los flujos de inversión extranjera directa en los países de América Latina (1991-2005)articlepublishedVersionhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501http://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf210584/4798oai:172.16.14.36:10584/47982015-10-07 01:48:44.84Repositorio Digital de la Universidad del Nortemauribe@uninorte.edu.co
