Resumo

Esta pesquisa procura demonstrar que as decisões de investimento fixo na América Latina são determinadas não apenas pelos fundamentos macroeconômicos (vendas e taxas de juros), mas também pelas expectativas e padrões culturais. Para tanto, as dimensões culturais de Hofstede são consideradas, bem como o índice de diversidade religiosa e o índice de percepção de corrupção. A partir de um modelo de painel de dados para sete países da América Latina, é mostrado que todas as variáveis, com exceção do índice de masculinidade, são significativas para explicar o investimento fixo na região. Os resultados sugerem que, para incentivar o investimento, além de promover um ambiente de negócios estável, deve-se contemplar o comportamento e as preferências dos indivíduos com base em seus perfis culturais.
