Abstract

Cet article analyse les effets de la qualité des institutions sur la volatilité des Investissements Directs Etrangers (IDE) en Afrique. Nous utilisons un modèle estimé en données de panel par les méthodes des moments généralisés en système et des doubles moindres carrés sur la période 1996–2014. Les résultats montrent que la qualité des institutions accroit la volatilité des entrées d'IDE. L'Afrique en général et les sous†régions Afrique Centrale et Afrique Australe en particulier doivent reformer leurs institutions.This article analyzes the influence of institutional quality on the volatility of foreign direct investment (FDI) in Africa. We use an estimated model in dynamic panel data using the generalized method moment in system (GMM†S) and double least squares (2SLS) over the period 1996–2014. Results show that the quality of institutions increases the volatility of FDI inflows. In order to stabilize FDI inflows and set development prospects the African authorities must reform their institutions.
