Abstract

[fre] Cet article se propose d ’ étudier les motifs de localisation des firmes multinationales allemandes dans les pays d ’ Europe de l ’ Est . L ’ analyse empirique est conduite au niveau des firmes à l ’ aide d ’ une nouvelle banque de données mise à la disposition par la Bundesbank . La décision de localisation des firmes allemandes n ’ est pas seulement dépendante des déterminants traditionnels des IDE (investissements directs étrangers ) mais dépend fortement des facteurs propres à la transition vers une économie de marché . [eng] Locating German Multinationals in Eastern European Countries by Farid Toubal . This paper sets out to study why German multinationals set up in Eastern European countries . An empirical analysis is made of the firms using a new database provided by the Bundesbank . The decision as to where to site German firms is not just dependent on the traditional determinants of FDI (foreign direct investment ). It also depends a great deal on factors inherent in the transition to a free market economy . Keywords : transition economy , FDI , panel
