Abstract

[spa] Variaciones de cambio, indicadores macroeconómicos e inversiones directas de los Estados Unidos en los países desarrollados, . por Jérôme Henry.. . Las inversiones directas de los Estados Unidos en los grandes países de la OCDE sufrieron variaciones muy notables en los años ochenta. A partir de las estadísticas anuales estadounidenses que cubren el período de 1961 a 1989, se muestra en primer lugar que estas fluctuationes se deben fundamentalmente a las plusvalías sobre los stocks, relacionadas con las variaciones del tipo de cambio del dólar. Después de tomar en cuenta este efecto, los resultados econométricos permiten poner de relieve dos estrategias diferentes de mercado, denominadas de autonomía y de dependencia. Las inversiones de los Estados Unidos pueden efectivamente estar relacionadas alternativamente con la demanda local o con la propensión a exportar de la economía norteamericana. [eng] Exchange Rate Variations, Macroeconomic Indicators and Direct American Investment in Developed Countries, . by Jérôme Henry.. . Direct American investments in the leading OECD countries suffered particularly striking swings in the 1980s. The article uses annual American statistics covering the period from 1961 to 1989 to show first of all that these fluctuations are mainly due to capital gains on stocks linked to the dollar's exchange rate. Once this effect is taken into account, the econometric results serve to highlight two distinct independent and dependent market strategies. American investments can be linked alternately to local demand and the American economy's propensity to export. [fre] Fluctuations du dollar, indicateurs macro-économiques et investissements directs américains dans les pays développés, . par Jérôme Henry.. . Les investissements directs américains dans les grands pays de l'OCDE ont subi des inflexions particulièrement marquées dans les années quatre-vingt. À partir des statistiques annuelles américaines couvrant la période de 1961 à 1989, l'on montre d'abord que ces fluctuations sont essentiellement dues aux plus-values sur stocks, liées au taux de change du dollar. Une fois cet effet pris en compte, les résultats économétriques permettent de mettre en évidence deux stratégies de marché distinctes, dites d'autonomie et de dépendance. Les investissements américains peuvent en effet être reliés alternativement aux demandes locales ou à la propension à exporter de l'économie américaine. [ger] Wechselkursschwankungen, gesamtwirtschaftliche Indikatoren und amerikanische Direktinvestitionen in den Industrieländern, . von Jérôme Henry.. . Die amerikanischen Direktinvestitionen in den großen OECD-Ländern waren in den 80er Jahren durch besonders ausgeprägte Schwankungen gekennzeichnet. Auf der Grundlage der amerikanischen Jahresstatistiken des Zeitraums von 1961 bis 1989 wird zunächst aufgezeigt, daß diese Schwankungen im wesentlichen auf den durch den Dollarkurs bedingten Wertzuwachs der Vorratsbestände zurückzufuhren sind. Nach Berücksichtigung dieses Effekts lassen sich aus den ökonometrischen Ergebnissen zwei verschiedene Marktstrategien ableiten, und zwar die sogenannte autonome und die abhängige Strategie; denn für die amerikanischen Investitionen kann entweder die lokale Nachfrage oder die Exportfreudigkeit der amerikanischen Wirtschaft maßgebend sein.
