Résumé
Cet article analyse le lien entre propriété étrangère, investissement et performance des entreprises dans un contexte subsaharien, à partir d’un échantillon de 168 entreprises camerounaises sur la période 2007 à 2009. Ce lien est estimé à l’aide d’un modèle à équations simultanées qui, en présence d’un problème d’endogénéité, donne des résultats plus robustes que les modèles usuels. Les résultats montrent que la participation étrangère agit négativement sur la rentabilité des actifs et positivement sur l’investissement. Toutefois ce lien n’est pas linéaire : au-delà de 25 %, la participation étrangère agit positivement sur la rentabilité des actifs et négativement sur l’investissement.

Abstract
This paper analyzes the relationship between foreign ownership, investment and firms performance in a Sub-Saharan context, based on a sample of 168 Cameroonian firms in the period 2007-2009. To control for the endogeneity issue revealed by our analysis, we estimate a simultaneous equations model that is known to give more robust results than usual models. We find that foreign ownership has a negative effect on firm’s assets return, while positively related to investment. However, the results show a non-linear relationship: when foreign equity is above 25%, foreign ownership is positively related to assets return, and negatively related to investment.
Keywords:
- Foreign ownership,
- Investment,
- Financial performance
Resumen
Este artículo analiza el enlace entre propiedad extranjera, inversión y rendimiento de empresas en el contexto subsahariano, a partir de una muestra de 168 empresas camerunesas en el periodo de 2007 a 2009. Este enlace es estimado mediante un modelo a ecuaciones simultáneas que, frente a un problema de endogenidad, da los resultados más fiables que los modelos usuales. Los resultados comprueban que la participación extranjera actúa negativamente sobre la rentabilidad y positivamente en la inversión. Ahora bien, este enlace no es lineal: más allá del 25%, la participación extranjera actúa positivamente sobre la rentabilidad y negativamente sobre la inversión.
