Resumen
Este artículo estudia empíricamente el impacto de la calidad de gobierno sobre los flujos de inversión extranjera directa (IED) para una muestra de 46 economías en el período 1996-2018. En particular, se analiza comparativamente en qué medida la calidad del gobierno influye en la entrada de IED en dos grupos de países que presentan diferencias relevantes en los niveles de calidad de gobierno: 33 países de la OECD y 13 países de América Latina. Aplicando métodos de datos de panel, se encuentra que la calidad del gobierno afecta positivamente a los flujos de IED en ambos grupos de países, y que el impacto es superior en los países de la OECD en relación con los países de América Latina. A partir de este estudio, se concluye que es esencial el diseño de políticas públicas que fortalezcan la calidad institucional, particularmente en los países de América Latina con instituciones más débiles.
