Abstract

Dans cet article nous étudions les effets des investissements directs étrangers (IDE) sur le pays d’accueil. Nous aprofondissons la litérature existante sur le sujet de trois façons: premièrement, nous admettons explicitement une endogénéité potentielle dans la relation entre la performance économique d’un pays (mesurée par la productivité du travail) et les IDE, en estimant un système d’équations simultanées. Deuxièmement, nous prenons en compte dans la conclusion, les effets directs et les effets additionnels indirects dont on peut suivre la trace à travers le système d’équations. Troisièmement, nous basons nos estimations sur un échantillon incluant aussi bien des pays de l’OCDE que des pays non membres de l’OCDE, pour sept industries manufacturières, sur la période 1981–2000. Les résultats suggèrent une relation positive entre les IDE et la production ainsi que la productivité et la croissance des exportations, alors qu’il y a, par ailleurs, des preuves d’une pression à la baisse sur la croissance des salaires due aux IDE. Cependant, l’ampleur des effets est curieusement faible.European Journal of Development Research (2009) 21, 95–111. doi:10.1057/ejdr.2008.1
