Abstract

The paper analyses the incentive to train of a multinational which decides to invest in a host country when a poaching threat exists from a potential local entrant. We give the multinational the possibility to choose the number of trained workers and model the proportion of the poached workers using a friction function depending on the salaries gap proposed by the two firms and the degree of labour mobility in the host country. We show how the renunciation to the training strategy by the multinational may constitute an entry barrier to the local firm. We also demonstrate that an increase of labour mobility degree do not systematically reduce the multinational’s incentive to train. L’article analyse si une multinationale, qui décide d’investir dans un pays hôte, fera de la formation quand existe une menace de débauchage exercée par un entrant local potentiel. Nous donnons à la multinationale la possibilité de choisir l’effectif des salariés à former et nous modélisons la proportion des salariés formés et débauchés par une fonction de friction qui dépend des salaires proposés par les deux firmes et du degré de mobilité de la main-d’oeuvre dans le pays hôte. Nous montrons comment la renonciation par la multinationale à la formation peut constituer une barrière à l’entrée pour la firme locale. Nous montrons par ailleurs que l’accroissement du degré de mobilité de la main-d’oeuvre ne réduit pas systématiquement l’incitation de la multinationale à la formation.
