Abstract

[eng] Determinants of the French local community borrowing : an empirical study over the period 1985-1995. The aim of the article is to show that financial intermediation theory can bring about a new explanation to the local community borrowing, especially the choice between bank loans and directly placed debts. The aims of the model presented here are :. - to explain the advantages which local communities can expect from a long term relationship with a bank ;. - to know when and according to which criteria local communities should diversify their sources of borrowing - by choosing to borrow directly - in order to curb the power of banks.. The empirical research shows that, due to high flotation costs, only large borrowers can obtain finance directly. Moreover, local communities choose their source of borrowing by comparing the expected benefit of an eventual renegociation and the very high cost of borrowing from a bank. Subsequently, the choice depends on the quality of the local communities themselves. [fre] Le principal objectif de l'article est de montrer que la théorie de l'intermédiation financière peut apporter une explication nouvelle au comportement d'endettement des collectivités territoriales, notamment dans leur arbitrage dette bancaire/ émission obligataire. Le modèle présenté a pour but : . - d'expliquer quels avantages peuvent attendre les collectivités territoriales de la poursuite d'une relation de long terme avec une banque ;. - de savoir à partir de quel moment et selon quels critères, les collectivités territoriales diversifient leurs sources d'endettement - en se dirigeant vers le marché - afin d'endiguer le pouvoir des banques.. Notre étude empirique basée sur 94 collectivités territoriales, montre qu'en raison des coûts d'émission importants, seuls les grands emprunteurs peuvent se financer sur le marché. D'autre part, les collectivités territoriales choisissent leur source d'endettement en comparant le gain attendu d'une éventuelle renégociation et le surcoût du financement bancaire. Le choix est alors fonction de la qualité des collectivités.
