La República Dominicana y Centroamérica (Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras y Nicaragua) firmaron con los Estados Unidos de América un Tratado de Libre Comercio, conocido como DR-CAFTA, por sus siglas en inglés, el cual entró en vigor entre los años 2006 y 2009. Hasta el momento no se ha evaluado si el tratado ha tenido impacto sobre los flujos de Inversión Extranjera Directa (IED) hacia los países de Centroamérica y la República Dominicana. La presente investigación tiene como propósito determinar si el DR-CAFTA ha tenido algún impacto sobre los flujos de IED que estos países reciben. Para responder esta pregunta, se llevó a cabo una revisión de literatura y se estimó econométricamente el impacto del DR-CAFTA sobre estos flujos, a partir de una muestra de datos de panel que abarca a los seis países de interés para este estudio (Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua y la República Dominicana) durante el período 1990-2017. No se encontró evidencia de que el DR-CAFTA haya tenido impacto sobre los flujos de IED hacia los países estudiados. La pertenencia previa de los países estudiados a la Iniciativa para la Cuenca del Caribe es una posible explicación de estos resultados.
The Dominican Republic and Central America (Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua) signed with the United States of America a Free Trade Agreement, known as DR-CAFTA, that came into effect between 2006 and 2009. The impact of this agreement on the flows of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) to Central American countries and Dominican Republic has not been assessed yet. This research has the purpose to determine whether the DR-CAFTA has had an impact on the FDI flows these countries receive. In order to address this question, the literature was revised and the impact of DR-CAFTA on these flows was estimated with econometrics, using a panel data sample that comprises the six countries of interest for this research (Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Dominican Republic), during the 1990-2017 period. No evidence about the impact of DR-CAFTA on FDI flows to the assessed countries was found. The fact that these countries were previously members of the Caribbean Basin Initiative is a possible explanation for these results.
