A network approach to study the effects of foreign direct investment on economic growth
Empirical papers on Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) produced ambiguous evidence on the sign and magnitude that it has on economic growth. This paper uses a network approach to evaluate if interconnectedness measures of FDI flows, namely network centrality, have an effect on growth. It uses a databas...

This paper uses a network approach to evaluate if interconnectedness measures of FDI flows, namely network centrality, have an effect on growth. It uses a database of 175 countries for the 2001-2012 period. Results indicate that there is a negative effect of local centrality (degree) and a positive one for global centrality measures on economic growth. The latter result suggests that the ability of FDI to produce positive effects on economic growth relies on the degree of interconnectedness of the countries to others with a relatively better position in the global investment network. Reception date: May 4, 2020Acceptance date: October 24, 2020 Los estudios empíricos de la Inversión Extranjera Directa (IED) han generado evidencia ambigua sobre el signo y la magnitud que esta ejerce sobre el crecimiento económico. En este trabajo se usa un enfoque de redes para evaluar si la interconectividad de los flujos de IED, medida a través de la centralidad en redes, tiene un efecto sobre el crecimiento. Se utiliza una base de datos por origen y destino del flujo de IED entre 175 países en el período comprendido entre 2001 y 2012. Los resultados indican un efecto negativo para la centralidad local (grado) y positivo para las medidas de centralidad global sobre el crecimiento económico. Este último resultado sugiere que la propensión de la IED a generar efectos positivos sobre el crecimiento reside en la mayor interconectividad de los países con otros de mejor posicionamiento relativo en las redes globales de inversión.
