Direct Foreign Investment and Economic Development in Latin America: Perspectives for the Future [Elektronische Daten] [Eva Paus] Since 1982, most Latin American countries have witnessed slow economic growth and a persistent net transfer of funds to the rest of the world as a result of sharply reduced inflows of private international bank lending and large debt payment obligations. Against this background direct foreign investment (DFI) has received increasing attention as one important element in overcoming the present stagnation-cum-debt crisis as well as in contributing to renewed economic growth. This article explores the possible contributions of DFI to the future economic growth and development of the region.1 Copyright © Cambridge University Press 1989 Journal of Latin American Studies Cambridge University Press 21/1-2(1989-06), 221-239 0022-216X 21:1-2<221 1989 21 LAS https://doi.org/10.1017/S0022216X00014772 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research-article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1017/S0022216X00014772 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 100 1- Paus Eva Eva Paus is Assistant Professor of Economics, Mount Holyoke College, Massachusetts NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- Journal of Latin American Studies Cambridge University Press 21/1-2(1989-06), 221-239 0022-216X 21:1-2<221 1989 21 LAS CC0 http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0 nationallicence BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-cambridge
