“…Thus, investors are likely to evaluate the quality of institutional environments that lead to high-quality workforces and efficient infrastructure. These two factors were found to be key determinants of FDI decisions into China and Brazil for example (Broadman and Sun, 1997;Du et al, 2008;Fung et al, 2002;Bortoluzzo et al, 2013;Sun et al, 2002). Goerzen et al (2013) state that well-developed infrastructure leads to greater availability of global media, more connectivity and, therefore, reduced search costs and accelerated learning.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the interplay of institutional quality and market potential factors on the agglomeration of foreign fast-food franchises in major cities in Central America. Design/methodology/approach The authors approached the research question through a regression analysis of the main fast-food chains operating in the 41 largest cities in Central America. The exploratory analysis in this paper attempted to discover the statistical relationship between institutional quality and market potential factors on the agglomeration of fast-food chains in specific cities. The paper also examined the spatial distribution of fast-food units in selected cities to try to discover specific patterns on the selection of specific locations within each city. Findings The findings of this paper suggest that population size and institutional quality in terms of regulatory efficiency were the two most significant predictors of fast-food chains agglomerations in selected Central American cities. The authors also found a negative interaction between market potential and institutional quality on agglomeration of fast-food restaurants, whereby a relatively weak institutional environment might deter investors, even if initially a market offers moderate potential. Finally, they found specific geographic patterns for the chosen locations of fast-food places that signal to a preference for urban locations with easy access to main thoroughfares, high commercial traffic and more affluence. Research limitations/implications The small sample size was a major constraint. Moreover, population size as a measure of market potential was available for all cities, but other city-level indicators were only available for a small number of cities. The preliminary results aligned with the predictions in this paper, yet the generalizability of the findings of this paper is limited by the sampling and measurement issues noted above. Finally, the paper did not include all fast-food chains in the cities examined, and inclusion of more foreign and domestic chains should be considered in future studies. Practical implications Local governments should consider the factors that impact franchise chains’ decisions to enter a market and the specific locations in which they choose to locate their units. Improving the quality of local institutions could be instrumental in attracting investment. Originality/value Very few studies have focused on Central America as a recipient of investment by fast-food chains. The region is less than attractive in terms of both market potential and risk. Yet fast-food franchises have continued to grow over the past two decades, making the examination of their investment decisions worth studying. The inclusion of institutional quality at the city level is an additional contribution of this paper. This paper furthers our understanding of the factors that drive investment decisions of global franchisors in regions with low to medium market potential and medium to high levels of institutional risk.

“…Esse comportamento confirma os resultados para as estimações de longo prazo (considerando uma defasagem), de que o indicador Ibovespa capta os comportamentos das bolsas Merval, S&P500 e Nikkei de forma positiva. Confirma-se, assim, que esses mercados são importantes para a economia brasileira, não somente do ponto de vista das trocas de comércio, como também nas intenções de captação de recursos e entrada de capitais estrangeiros(Gouvea et al, 2020;Bortoluzzo et al, 2013). do Brasil; diante disso, a canalização de fluxos de capitais relacionada com o indicador bursátil também deve ser fortalecida.…”

“…A cos passados e com tempo maior de análise explicam o grau de importância para o mercado brasileiro(Gouvea et al, 2020; Escher e Wilkinson, 2019;Bortoluzzo et al, 2013). Porém, considerando um período de menor magnitude, ou seja, de 2018 a 2020, o grau de causalidade dos indicadores financeiros denota divergên-o objetivo do estudo foi verificar a relação de causalidade entre o indicador Ibovespa e as demais bolsas associadas a cada país com os quais o Brasil detém uma forte relação comercial.…”

O estudo analisa a relação de causalidade entre o indicador bursátil brasileiro em relação a outros indicadores de bolsa de valores. Especificamente, o tempo de estudo incorpora a crise mundial causada pela covid-19 e a guerra pelo preço do petróleo. Utilizaram-se as séries diferenciadas, considerando a existência de raiz unitária; posteriormente, realizou-se a estimação do modelo VAR e a causalidade de Granger. Nos resultados, verifica-se que a causalidade entre o Ibovespa com o S&P500 e o Nikkei é bidirecional. Esses resultados são consistentes ao relacionar o grau de intercâmbio comercial e de origem do investimento estrangeiro no Brasil.
