Keywords:
Competitive environment. Competitiveness. Foreign direct investment. International productive investment. Productivity.Abstract
Purpose: to explore, describe and explain the relationship between the disposition of an international investor to invest in Brazil and the country´s competitive environment, in order to identify the existing relevant factors, to stimulate investments.
Originality/Gap/Relevance/Implications: it states in the fact that it utilizes a multivariate analysis in order to establish and explain the relationships between several quantitative variables.
Key methodological aspects: the identification of such relations came from the application of a canonical analysis among the FDI as inbound flow and accumulation with a series of explicative variables, representative of the Brazilian competitive environment. The data from 1997 to 2011 came from national and international sources.
Summary of key results: the output shows a strong correlation between the IDE in Brazil and some indicators of the country competitive environment.
Key considerations/conclusions: there exists a strong correlation between the IDE and the Brazilian competitive environment, demonstrated through the two canonical functions generated. The relevant explicative variables were the well-being of the society, the labor productivity and the imports. A practical issue, the work offers a single tool for decision making previous analysis.
