Abstract

The determinants of foreign direct investment (FDI) are explored with gravity models, using a Poisson estimator and a linear estimator, both with fixed effects. The heterogeneity of product market regulations has a large and robust impact on cross-border investment: a reduction of regulatory divergence by one fifth could increase FDI by about 15%. In particular, the divergence of command and control regulations and of protection of incumbents (antitrust exemptions, entry barriers in networks and services) reduce cross-border investment. In addition, countries with higher employment protection have both less inward and less outward FDI, and there is some evidence that more complex regulatory procedures reduce inward FDI. L'effet négatif de l'hétérogénéité des réglementations sur l'investissement direct étranger Les déterminants de l’investissement direct étranger (IDE) sont analysés au moyen de modèles de gravité, en utilisant un estimateur de Poisson et un estimateur linéaire à effets fixes. L’hétérogénéité des réglementations des marchés de produits a un impact significatif et durable sur l’investissement international : une réduction d’un cinquième des différences entre les réglementations nationales pourrait accroître l’IDE d’environ 15 %. En particulier, les divergences entre les réglementations du type injonction et contrôle et entre les protections des acteurs en place (en termes de dérogations au droit de la concurrence, d’obstacles à l’entrée dans les industries de réseau et les secteurs de services) sont un frein à l’investissement international. En outre, les pays dotés d’une législation plus rigoureuse sur la protection de l’emploi enregistrent à la fois moins d’IDE entrant et moins d’IDE sortant, et des éléments montrent que des procédures réglementaires plus complexes réduisent l’IDE entrant.
