Abstract

[eng] The influence of direct foreign investment (DFI) on wage and employment levels is theoretically ambiguous. On the other hand, according to statistical data, French DFI forms part of a strategy to gain market shares abroad : the majority of DFI is in the tertiary sector and in OECD countries. Empirical studies have confirmed that labour cost is a secondary factor in the decision to set up abroad. Moreover, wage and employment levels in the parent company seem to be positively correlated with the activity of its foreign subsidiaries. Although it does not appear to act as a substitute for domestic investment, outward investment nevertheless seems to have a positive impact on export levels. [fre] L’influence de l’investissement direct à l’étranger (IDE) sur les niveaux d’emploi et de salaires est théoriquement équivoque. En revanche, d’après les données statistiques, l’IDE français s’inscrit dans une stratégie de conquête de parts de marché à l’étranger : la majorité des IDE est réalisée dans le secteur des services et à destination des pays de l’OCDE. Les études empiriques confirment que le coût du travail est un facteur secondaire de la décision d’implantation à l’étranger. Le niveau de l’emploi et des salaires dans la maison mère apparaît d’ailleurs positivement corrélé avec l’activité des filiales à l’étranger. S’il ne semble pas y avoir substitution avec l’investissement domestique, l’investissement sortant semble au contraire exercer une influence positive sur le niveau des exportations.
