Les modèles de simulation comme fonctions de production

Abstract

[fre] Le niveau technologique employé par un agriculteur individuel dépend des ressources climatiques, pédologiques, génétiques, humaines et économiques dont il dispose. Une forme synthétique de décrire la diversité de modèles techniques utilisés dans diverses régions serait de représenter la technologie par des « fonctions de production d'ingénieur ». Il existe un très grand inconvénient pour la construction de fonctions de production d'un tel type qui consiste à dépendre d'un petit nombre d'observations passées qui sont très loin de refléter tout l'éventail des possibilités techniques. Une démarche intéressante consiste en l'emploi de modèles de simulation de la croissance des plantes - qui représentent une fonction de production technique dans le sens original du terme - dans le but d'établir les rapports input-output des différentes combinaisons de facteurs de production. [eng] The level of technology employed by an individual farmer depends on his climatic, edaphic, genetic, human and economic resources. A synthetic way of describing the diversity of technological models used in the different regions is to represent technology by means of « engineering production functions ». The difficulty for the construction of those functions is to depend upon a scarce number of observations which do not represent the whole set of feasible choices. An interesting alternative is to use agricultural simulation models, which represent a technical production function in its original sense, with the purpose of establishing the input-output coefficients for the different combinations of production factors.
