Resumo(s)
One important feature of the globalization process is the increase in the economic and
financial interdependencies across counties. In this context, it is crucial to measure the connections
between countries in order to identify where the financial centers are located, to characterize the
foreign investments, and define the set of world countries that have stronger linkages, among
others. In this context, foreign direct and portfolio investments play a crucial role in measuring
international investments and understanding these dynamics. Such an interconnected web of
foreign investment relationships is difficult to measure due to their complexity, but as well as the
lack of unified data sources. This thesis aims to use network analysis to map the portfolio and
foreign direct investment global relationships in order to identify patterns, preferential paths for
investment, establish trends and describe the relations between countries over time. Secondly, it
gathers the results of the network analysis and presents them in an intuitive web application, where
the most important findings are highlighted allowing the users to interact with the data and extract
insights over all the available years.
