Remesas , inversión , destino de remesas, agentes receptoresResumo
En este trabajo se analizó el tema de las remesas desde un punto de vista microeconómico. Luego de destacar el importante papel que cumplen las remesas en la economía nacional, se procedió a investigar cuáles son los determinantes que explican su grado de inversión a nivel nacional; es decir, aquellos factores que influyen en la decisión del agente receptor de remesas para consumir o invertir dicho ingreso. El periodo de análisis comprende los años 2007, 2008 y 2009. Durante la investigación de campo se encontró evidencia de que la mayor parte de las remesas se destina a gastos de consumo corriente (75%) y apenas un 21% a la inversión. A través de un modelo econométrico se pudo concluir que son 7 los factores que afectan positiva y directamente el porcentaje de inversión que puede alcanzar un agente receptor de remesas en Ecuador. Tomando en cuenta los resultados del modelo, el agente receptor representativo de Ecuador puede llegar a invertir hasta el 10% de las remesas que recibe del exterior.
