Abstract

El presente paper presta tanto argumentos teóricos como soporte econométrico a la idea de un nivel óptimo de inversión extranjera directa (FDI). Lo hace descubriendo una relación con forma de U invertida entre dicha inversión y el esfuerzo educativo local. La optimalidad de un flujo limitado de FDI depende de la formación de incentivos para educarse entre la población local, que es heterogénea en términos de destreza o habilidad. Estos incentivos se forman en presencia de incertidumbre e información asimétrica entre la multinacional y sus potenciales empleados. Nuestras estimaciones revelan la existencia (y significatividad) de un impacto positivo (lineal) y otro negativo (no lineal) de la inversión extranjera directa sobre la escolarización terciaria, tanto en países desarrollados como en vías de desarrollo.
