Abstract: Foreign direct investment of French Multinational Firms and trade relation with their affiliates: an empirical analysis on individual firms data In the debate over the substitution-complementarity relationship between foreign direct investment (FDI) and trade, studies usually consider aggregated trade flows. We pursue this debate by considering individual data for French Multinational Firms. Previous results show a complementarity between trade and FDI (Chedor & Mucchielli, 1998). We wanted to deepen this first analysis by considering the two different components of global trade: intra-firm (trade between a parent company and its affiliates) and inter-firm trade (or arm's length transactions). We examine to what extent intra or inter-firm trade are more complement or substitute to FDI. We finally found that complementarity for global trade is explained by a strong complementarity for intra-firm trade and a substitution for inter-firm trade
