L'IMPACT DES INVESTISSEMENTS DIRECTS ÉTRANGERS SUR LES ÉCONOMIES EN DÉVELOPPEMENT

Region et Developpement, 2004, vol. 20, 65-89

Abstract: The volume of Foreign Direct Investments (FDIs) towards developing countries has significantly risen during the 90's. The interest expressed in FDIs by developing countries is generally justified by many expectations: their impact on growth, the provision of financial resources, the openness to international markets (export outlets, supplying, compliance with international standards etc.), the rise in productivity, the improvement of local management capacities and technological transfers. Empirical studies tend to suggest however that these results should be qualified in the case of developing countries. This literature survey on FDI impacts on developing countries outlines the main current debates.
