Abstract

[fre] La littérature en économie internationale reconnaît l'importance croissante des échanges intra-firme (30% du commerce mondial). L'objet de cet article est de tester empiriquement l'influence différente des déterminants des échanges sur les marchés interne et externe à la firme. Les résultats obtenus, dans le cas des multinationales agro-alimentaires localisées en France, confirment cette différence entre les deux types de marchés. Ainsi, le volume des échanges intra-firme est une fonction croissante des transferts de ressources au sein du groupe multinational. Il dépend particulièrement des économies d'échelle, qui se réaliseraient mieux à l'intérieur de la firme, et de l'expérience à l'international du groupe dont la filiale bénéficie, mettant au premier plan le rôle de la dimension organisationnelle interne de la FMN. Il dépend également de l'importance des barrières à l'entrée dans l'activité, que le marché interne permet de contourner, et de la nature intermédiaire des biens qui témoigne du rôle de l'organisation productive multinationale. [eng] International economic literature acknowledges the increasing importance of intra-firm trade (30% of world trade). The purpose of this paper is to use an empirical approach to test how the determinants of these exchanges exert a different influence on the firm's internal and external markets. The results obtained for food multinational companies in France confirm this difference. Thus, the volume of intra-firm trade depends increasingly on the transfer of resources within the multinational group. It is based on economies of scale, which can be achieved better within the firm, and on the experience already acquired by the group which is beneficial to the affiliate. It also depends on the importance of the entry barriers into the activity, which can be circumvented by the internal market and on the intermediate nature of goods, that reveals the role of the multinational company in organising production.. The results emphasise the role of internal organisation of the multinational company.
