Descrição: Objective. This study seeks to explain the variation in Japanese foreign direct investment (FDI) in Latin America between 1979 and 1992. The analysis focuses on twelve countries: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Honduras, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, and Venezuela. Methods. A multivariate regression model is used to test the effects of political and economic determinants. The effects of the independent variables are estimated using ordinary least squares (OLS) with panel corrected standard errors. Results. The findings suggest that market size, economic adjustment policies, and certain types of political instability have influenced Japanese FDI in the region. Official development assistance and a number of macroeconomic variables (e.g., real gross domestic product, yen appreciation, size of the skilled workforce, inflation, and imports and exports) were found to have little explanatory power. Conclusions. While previous studies have emphasized economic determinants, our results suggest that both political and economic variables are important in understanding Japanese investment behavior in Latin America.
