À quelles conditions les IDE stimulent-ils la croissance ?. IDE, croissance et catalyseurs dans les pays méditerranéens

</titre> <alinea/> The basic aim of this paper is to assess the linkages between inflows of FDI, GDP growth and the structural reforms that are usually supposed to increase the effects of FDI on growth : such as human capital, infrastructure, trade openness, financial development and increasing macroeconomic stability. These structural factors are both expected to accelerate growth and to attract FDI. But we show that for Middle East and North African countries, only the education levels significantly interact with FDI as channels through which foreign investment produce spillover effects and growth. However, we show that increasing FDI attraction of FDI has plaid as a catalyst factor for the impact of structural reform on growth.
