Direct investment flows are considered one of the funding sources to capitalize the economy. The evidence shows how foreign investors need stability, political security and maintenance of property rights which guarantee the return of investment to register their capital to an economic process. During the last 40 years Chile has been facing different political stages which eventually affected the political attraction of foreign investment developed in the seventies. Nevertheless, results show that only the transition to a democratic process is the main political fact having effects on the Direct Foreign Investment flows, while the rest of the performance is associated to foreign economical events.Downloads
