Impacto de la inversión extranjera directa (IED) en el crecimiento económico en Ecuador periodo 1990-2022

Economic growth in Ecuador is a concern since after the pandemic the figures have not recovered to the same level as other countries and do not even reach figures like those of years prior to the pandemic. In 2021 the GDP stands at 9.8% of the annual GDP after the fall of -9.2% in 2020 due to the crisis caused by the pandemic. In this context, this work aims to evaluate the impact of IED on economic growth in Ecuador in the period 1990-2022, through a statistical and econometric analysis, in order to propose policies that contribute to reducing the country's low economic growth. For this purpose, statistical information is collected from databases of the World Bank and the Pen World Table (PWT). Through an econometric time series model, with a Vector Autoregression (VAR) model to evaluate long-term relations and a Vector Error Correction (VEC) model to analyze short-term connections, the causal relation between the variables is also estimated. The results showed both short- and long-term relations between foreign direct investment, gross capital formation and technology with respect to economic growth. Similarly, a unidirectional relation was found between human capital and economic growth and a bidirectional relation between gross capital formation and foreign direct investment. It is suggested that effective policies be applied that focus efforts on increasing foreign investment, such as the implementation of policies that offer fiscal and regulatory incentives that may include reductions in tariff rates for investment-related imports, as well as improving physical and educational infrastructure can increase Ecuador's attractiveness as a destination for IED.
