| Sumario: | Foreign direct investment (FDI) has become increasingly important for theBrazilian economy: the ratio of FDI inow to the country's gross domestic product(GDP) increased from a 0.6% average in the 1980s to 2.5% from 2001 to 2010,according to data from UNCTAD. However, there is great inequality in the distributionof this investment among Brazilian federation units. This study aims atinvestigating the determining factors for the location of foreign direct investmentacross Brazilian states, based on an econometric study with panel data for the years1995, 2000 and 2005. The results showed that foreign investment responded positivelyto consumer market size, quality of labor and transport infrastructure, butnegatively to cost of labor and tax burden.
