This paper examines the causal relationship among economic growth (GDP), exports and foreign direct investment (FDI) in Brazil during the years of 1947 to 2010. The empirical study is based on a VAR, in which was applied the Toda e Yamamoto test. The results show an one-way relation between GPD and exports, as well as between exports and FDI, indicating that exports can be considered a "mechanism of effect" between economic growth and foreign direct investment. These results indicate the relevance of infrastructure investments, among others, as national development promoters.Downloads
