Abstract

[fre] Ce papier analyse le phénomène de rattrappage technologique sectoriel. À la différence d'autres études récentes on retient une équation de productivité dérivée de la loi de Fabricant à laquelle on ajoute une variable rattrapage. Sur des données de l'OCDE et pour la période 1976-1989, nos estimations confirment la pertinence de l'approche sectorielle du rattrapage en France et en Allemagne (les secteurs industriels les plus en retard connaissent la croissance de la productivité la plus forte) mais pas au Japon. [eng] The paper presents a short overview on technological catching up at a sectoral level. By contrast with the current studies which assess this phenomenon, we consider an equation of productivity derived from the wellknown Fabricant's Law which contains a catching up variable. With OECD data (for 1976-1989) our estimations confirm the relevance of a sectoral approach of catching up. Our main result is : there are national patterns for catching up in France and Germany (the industrial sectors with a relative low level at the beginning will have an effective faster growth) but not for Japan.
