Abstract

In France, as in several other developed countries, the public debate on matters related to foreign direct investment (FDI) often leads to intense controversies. At the beginning of the 1990s, the questions raised were mostly related to outward FDI and (more precisely) to the phenomenon of relocation abroad. At the end of the decade, however, several discussions were focused on questions dealing with inward capital flows, such as the fast growing influence of foreign institutional investors in the capital structure of domestic firms (Morin, 1998) or topics such as ‘the nationality of the firm’ (Commissariat Général du Plan, or CGP, 1999a) or France’s attractiveness as a business location (Lavenir etal., 2001).
