Abstract

[fre] Investissement direct à l'étranger et commerce international. Le cas français. . L'analyse microéconomique considère l'investissement direct à l'étranger et l'exportation comme des formes alternatives de pénétration des marchés étrangers. Pourtant, les séries macroéconomiques laissent augurer de la complémentarité entre ces deux modalités de globalisation de l'économie mondiale. Après avoir rappelé l'importance de l'implantation française à l'étranger, cet article identifie les liens existant entre investissement direct et commerce de biens, dans une perspective bilatérale. Une estimation en panel sur données françaises met en évidence une forte complémentarité entre flux d'investissement à l'étranger et commerce, transitant largement par des effets de débordement intersectoriels. Une seconde estimation, sur données de stocks, nuance ce premier résultat. Il apparaît toutefois qu'une part non négligeable des performances commerciales françaises peut être attribuée aux implantations françaises à l'étranger. [eng] Foreign direct investment and international trade : the french case. . The microeconomic theory analyses FDI as a substitute to exports, along the internalisation paradigm. In contrast, available macroeconomic data leads to a diagnosis of complementarity between these two channels of globalisation. Thus, having stressed the magnitude of the internationalisation of the French economy, the links between FDI and trade are surveyed. A panel estimate, using bilateral French data for FDI flows broken down by sector, highlights a strong complementarity largely based on spillovers between sectors. A second estimate, based on FDI stocks, smoothes this first result while pointing out that a large part of French export performance has to be associated with sizeable foreign assets.
