Abstract(s)
A literatura acerca do comércio internacional considera que o investimento direto estrangeiro (IDE) pode ser um importante catalisador do desenvolvimento e crescimento económico. Por essa razão as regiões, tal como os países, competem igualmente entre si pela atração de investimento estrangeiro. Neste contexto, onde a competição nacional/internacional é cada vez mais feroz, torna-se necessário dar especial atenção aos fatores que tornam as regiões atrativas e competitivas para os investidores externos.
Sob a perspetiva teórica e analítica das abordagens económicas do IDE, este estudo pretende analisar os fatores que atraem a localização de investimento direto estrangeiro. Para tal, foi desenvolvido um estudo de caso a nível regional - concelho do Fundão, Portugal – onde se recolheu a opinião de três empresas multinacionais que realizaram investimentos no concelho do Fundão entre o ano de 1990 e 2005.
No panorama geral, os resultados encontrados neste estudo indicam que o efeito de aglomeração ou a existência de clusters influencia positivamente a atratividade do IDE, as empresas multinacionais constituídas por via de IDE vertical são positivamente atraídas por locais onde possam alcançar baixos custos de produção, e que a disponibilidade e qualidade do capital humano é um fator significante para explicar a atração do concelho do Fundão para receber IDE.
The literature on international trade believes that foreign direct investment (FDI) can be an important catalyst for economic growth and development. Therefore, regions as countries also compete with each other to attract foreign investment. In this context, where national/international competition is increasingly fierce, it’s necessary to pay special attention to the factors that make regions competitive and attractive to foreign investors. Under the theoretical and analytical perspective of economic approaches to FDI, this study aims to analyze the factors that attract the location of foreign direct investment. A case study was developed at the regional level – concelho do Fundão, Portugal – through the analysis of the foreign direct investment made by three multinational firms, between 1990 and 2005. The findings suggest that clustering effect positively influence the attractiveness of FDI, multinational firms formed through vertical FDI are positively attracted to places where they can achieve low production costs, and the workforce availability and quality is a significant factor to explain the attraction of the concelho do Fundão, Portugal to receive FDI.
