Se investiga el efecto de la incertidumbre sobre los flujos de IED hacia el sector manufacturero mexicano durante 2007-2015. Con un panel de subsectores manufactureros estimamos un modelo por GMM en sistema, que incluye factores domésticos y externos, así como medidas de incertidumbre idiosincráticas y agregadas, como variables independientes. También se llevan a cabo simulaciones para evaluar el tamaño del efecto de la incertidumbre sobre la IED. Los resultados muestran que la incertidumbre desalienta a los flujos de IED hacia el sector manufacturero mexicano. Asimismo, se encuentra que la incertidumbre idiosincrática es más importante que la agregada para explicar la IED durante este periodo.
This paper investigates the effect of uncertainty on FDI flows into the Mexican manufacturing sector during the period 2007-2015. Using a panel of manufacturing subsectors, we estimate a model by System GMM that includes domestic and external factors, as well as idiosyncratic (i.e. that affect manufacturing subsectors in a particular way) and aggregate (i.e. that affect all manufacturing subsectors in general) uncertainty measures as explicative variables. We also perform some simulations to quantify the effect of uncertainty on FDI flows. The main results show that uncertainty discourages FDI flows into the Mexican manufacturing sector. We also find that the idiosyncratic uncertainty measures are more important in explaining FDI flows than the aggregate uncertainty measures, with the exception of the global risk aversion index.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
