Abstract

The purpose of this research work is to determine the incidence of foreign direct investment in Ecuador's unemployment during the period 2000 to 2018. This relationship will determine whether or not direct foreign investment has a significant contribution to reducing unemployment rates in Ecuador. The method applied is quantitative and correlational and descriptive, with the use of statistical data from secondary sources to clarify the problem. Therefore, the theoretical framework and empirical studies of origin are developed with the respective theories of foreign direct investment, unemployment, inflation and productive credits, in addition the referential framework is developed based on the relationship of the variables with various scientific studies and economic theories , the evolution of the exogenous variables in our analysis period in Ecuador was evaluated, in the same way as the endogenous variable with other countries in the region. Finally, an econometric model is generated where it was determined that foreign direct investment is not one of the main variables that affects unemployment, it is also determined that the explanatory variables foreign direct investment, inflation and productive credits have a probability value less than 0.5 which indicates that the estimated coefficients are nonzero, corresponds to our variables were statistically significant.
