Ítem Solo Metadatos The determinants of the long term private investment in Brazil: an empyrical analysis using Cross-section and a Monte Carlo Simulation(Universidad ESAN. ESAN Ediciones, 2013-10-30) Braga Tadeu, Hugo Ferreira; Moreira Silva, Jersone TassoEmpirical studies regarding the determinants of private investment in developing countries including Brazil have demonstrated the high inflation’s rates negative impact on investment. However the recent Brazilian’s experience clearly shows that stabilization is not capable of recovering investment’s rates. Therefore the objectives of this study are: a) to analyze the long term private investment’s determinants in Bra zil; b) analyze if the Brazilian economy has been impacted by the crowding-in or crowding-out effetcs; and c) analyze the macronomic variables’ behavior during the 2012 to 2017 period. In order to do this we used a cross section econometric analysis and a Monte Carlo Simulation for the data analysis. The paper presents the main investment theories and recent developments of these theories as well as how they can be applied to the Brazilian data. The results show evidences of a public investment crowding-in effect in infrastructure over the private investment. All the analyzed variables’ signs are consistent with the theory with the exception of the real interest’s rates where the coefficient is positive and insignificant in the estimated equation. The reduction in the credit’s vol. and the existence of political and economic instabilities showed that they are harmful to private investment in the analyzed period. The implementation of public policies in order to guarantee economic stability and improve the government’s credibility along with the increase of credit offer could boost private investment in Brazil.
