dc.description.abstractThis work aims to identify the key drivers that have propelled infrastructure investment in the European Union. Using econometric analysis of panel data, we investigate the relative importance of macroeconomic, capital market, and institutional factors in determining infrastructure investment. All EU countries were selected (except Malta) and the data used are centered between the years 1997 and 2020. Specifically, we use the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) command to estimate the parameters in dynamic panel models. The use of the GMM econometric command in this research ensures more accurate and robust results, allowing for the handling of endogeneity and unobserved heterogeneity problems that are commonly encountered in panel data analysis. The results achieved indicate that the macroeconomic variables overlap institutional issues and the level of maturity of the local capital market. Our findings shed light on the factors that are most relevant in driving infrastructure investment in the UE and can inform the development of more effective public policies in this area.eng
dc.description.abstractEste trabalho visa identificar os principais drivers que impulsionaram o investimento em infraestrutura na Uniรฃo Europeia (UE). Usando a anรกlise economรฉtrica de dados em painel, investigamos a importรขncia relativa dos fatores macroeconรดmicos, do mercado de capitais e institucionais na determinaรงรฃo do investimento em infraestrutura. Todos os paรญses da UE foram selecionados, exceto Malta e, os dados utilizados estรฃo centrados entre os anos de 1997 e 2020. Especificamente, usamos o comando Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) para estimar os parรขmetros em modelos de painรฉis dinรขmicos. A utilizaรงรฃo do comando economรฉtrico GMM nesta pesquisa garante resultados mais precisos e robustos, permitindo o tratamento de problemas de endogeneidade e heterogeneidade nรฃo observada que sรฃo comumente encontrados na anรกlise de dados em painel. Os resultados obtidos indicam que as variรกveis macroeconรดmicas se sobrepรตem ร s questรตes institucionais e ao nรญvel de maturidade do mercado de capitais local. Nossas descobertas lanรงam luz sobre os fatores mais relevantes para impulsionar o investimento em infraestrutura na UE e podem guiar o desenvolvimento de polรญticas pรบblicas mais eficazes nessa รกrea.por
