Abstract

[fre] Cet article étudie l’ampleur et les déterminants de la synchronisation des cycles d’activité à l’intérieur de la Chine. Le fédéralisme de facto qui caractérise ce pays suggère l’importance de la coordination entre les différentes politiques provinciales. Nous portons une attention particulière à l’influence de l’autonomie provinciale en termes de politiques industrielles, fiscales et commerciales. Nos résultats indiquent que le commerce intérieur et la coordination fiscale influencent positivement l’intégration économique et stabilisent les fluctuations entre les régions. À l’inverse, l’hétérogénéité en termes de commerce international et de structure de production ressort comme une force centrifuge nuisible à terme à la cohésion économique de la Chine. [eng] Our study examines the amplitude and determinants of the synchronization of business cycles in China. The country’s de facto federalism suggests the importance of coordination between provincial policies. We devote special attention to the influence of provincial autonomy on industrial, tax, and trade policies. Our results indicate that domestic trade and tax coordination promote economic integration and stabilize inter-regional fluctuations. Conversely, we find that heterogeneous international-trade and production structures act as a centrifugal force ultimately harmful to China's economic cohesion.
