Abstract

This paper deals with the relationship between capital inflow and investment during the most recent surge in foreign capital into the Chilean economy. The effects on investment of capital inflow are analyzed with a microeconomic model that emphasizes differential impacts on tradables and non-tradables. Empirically the paper deploys cointegration techniques to study the long-run relationships and an error-correction model for the short-term behavior of investment. The model allows interpretation of developments in the Chilean economy in the 1990s.
