Análisis de atracción de inversión extranjera a países de la Alianza del Pacífico

Abstract

This research develops a method to attract foreign direct investment to Pacific Alliance countries. The aim is to identify, through statistical crosses, Latin-American companies with potential to invest in productive clusters in a region of the Pacific Alliance, and to turn it into a platform for transformation and distribution of goods that target other markets of the Pacific Alliance, taking advantage of the tariff benefits and competitive advantages of the region within the framework of that agreement. The analysis allowed the identification of six companies in Argentina, nine in Brazil and fourteen in Ecuador, with potential to invest in the region of Valle del Cauca in Colombia, in sectors such as processed foods, automotive, packaging and personal care, among others.
