        Abstract

        This paper explores the macroeconomic determinants of Spanish foreign direct
        investment in Latin America during the 1990s and 2000s. We use pull-push factors models in
        order to analyse Spanish capital boom. Previous researches had explored microeconomic
        determinants of Spanish FDI, while this paper tried to contribute using panel data econometrics to
        evaluate the macroeconomic dimension of the same phenomena. We conclude that both factors
        were important, particularly economic growth in Spain and the strength of its corporations
        (push factors); and the privatization process, exchange rates, internal demand, GDP level and
        economic growth in Latin American countries (pull-factors).
