Abstract

[fre] L'objet de cet article est de dresser, dans le cadre du modèle à produit unique développé par Sraffa, un premier bilan de la problématique et des concepts néo-ricardiens.. L'économie est caractérisée par une structure ou méthode de production et une règle de répartition qui, par postulat fondamental et à la différence de la théorie néo-classique, est supposée autonome par rapport à la structure utilisée. En période courte, c'est-à-dire à structure donnée, on reprend de façon formalisée l'analyse de Sraffa dégageant les concepts de taux de profit réalisable, de marchandise étalon et de produit fondamentaux, ainsi que les hypothèses de base introduites aux divers moments de la théorie.. En période longue, les structures de production changent, notamment sous l'effet du progrès technique. Le problème de leur comparaison permet d'introduire le concept de performance d'une structure, qui apparaît lié à sa profitabilité et pertinent pour l'analyse des phénomènes de retour de technique. Enfin, la. mise en évidence du rôle moteur de la règle de répartition dans l'évolution des structures de production confirme l'intérêt du postulat fondamental de l'économie néo-ricardienne, ainsi que de la distinction méthodologique entre analyse de période courte et analyse de période longue utilisant des étalons de valeur différents. [eng] Elements of neo-Ricardian economics. I. Production structure and distribution rule. . This paper attempts to present a first account of spécifie neo-ricardian concepts and approach which canbe formalized within the framework of Sraffa's single product industry model. The economy is characterized by a production structure or technique and a distribution rule. In sharp contrast to Neoclassical theory, the latter is assumed auto nomous from the former. In the short period, i.e for a given technique, a formalized presentation ofStraffa's analysis delineates the concepts of feasible profit rate, standard commodity and basic product, as well as the several basic assumptions which have to be introduced. The long period allows for changes in technique resulting in particular from technical progress. Based on the notion of performance, a partial ordering over the set of techniques is constructed, with which the efficiency of the price mechanism in guiding the selection of new processes is assessed.. A discussion of te reswitching issue as related to the stability of the distribution rule validates in retrospect the approach, derived from the basic neo-ricardian postulate, which distinguishes between a short period and a long period analyses, using different standards of value.
