Abstract

[fre] Les différences de prix entre le petit et le grand commerce - La réputation qu'ont les formes les plus concentrées de commerce de pratiquer des prix peu élevés n'est pas usurpée. Tel est l'enseignement majeur de l'anal/se conjointe de l'enquête alimentaire de l'INSEE et d'un panel de consommateurs interrogés par une société privée. Par ordre croissant des prix, la hiérarchie hypermarchés - supermarchés - commerce concentré traditionnel - petit commerce se vérifie rigoureusement pour plus des 2/3 des articles. Pour les produits frais cependant, l'étude aboutit à des conclusions plus nuancées. Mais autant pour les pâtes, riz et farines, les légumes en conserve, la boucherie, les fromages, yaourts et crèmes, les corps gras, que pour les boissons non alcoolisées, les hypermarchés sont nettement moins chers que les autres types de point de vente. [spa] Las desigualdades de precios entre el pequeno y el gran comercio - La fama que tienen los sistemas mas concentrados de comercio de imponer precios poco elevados no es exagerada. Tal es la enseñanza fundamental que se desprende del análisis elaborado conjun- tamente por medio de la encuesta alimenticia del INSEE y de una muestra de consumidores encuestados por una organización privada. Por orden creciente de precios, la jerarquía hiper- mercados - supermercados - comercio concentrado tradicional-pequeño comercio se verifica patente para más de los dos tercios de artículos. No obstante, con relación a productos frescos, el estudio remata en conclusiones algo mas matizadas. Pero, tanto respecto a pastas alimenticias, arroz y harinas, verduras y legumbres en conserva; carniceria, quesos, yogurts y cremas, grasas, como con relación a bebidas sin alcohol, impera en los hipermercados precios netamente mas baratos que en las otras categorías de puestos de venta. [eng] Price Differences between Large and Small Retailers - The reputation which large food retailers have of charging lower prices is not unjustified. This was the main conclusion drawn from a combined analysis of the INSEE's survey of the food industry and of a group of consumers interviewed by a private organization. In ascending order, as one proceeds from giant supermarkets to medium-sized supermarkets and from traditional grocery stores to small food shops, prices are indeed found to increase for two-thirds of the articles. Nevertheless, in the area of fresh produce the situation proved to be somewhat more complex. However, for noodles, rice, and flour, canned vegetables, meat, cheese, yogurt, and cream, butter, oils, and shortening, and non-alcoholic beverages, giant supermarkets are substantially less expensive than their competitors.
