Working Paper 271 - Facteurs déterminants des IDE en Afrique

Author

Listed:

Abstract

Utilisant un panel de 52 pays africains et trois spécifications du modèle de gravité (le modèle standard ; le modèle augmenté de l’indicateur de gouvernance et du développement des infrastructures ; et le modèle augmenté de l’effet de proximité culturelle et du désenclavement du pays hôte), l’étude a mis en évidence plusieurs faits stylisés sur l’IDE. Premièrement, l’amélioration de la gouvernance et la qualité des infrastructures boostent de façon significative les flux d’IDE en direction de l’Afrique. Deuxièmement, l’effet de la qualité de la gouvernance semble être dominant, en particulier en ce qui concerne le respect de l’État de droit. Troisièmement, la proximité culturelle est aussi un facteur d’attraction des IDE. Cette dernière favorise les échanges entre économies partenaires. Quatrièmement, la taille du marché des pays d’accueil compte dans les flux d’IDE. Cinquièmement, la présence de ressources naturelles favorise l’IDE dans les pays.
