Abstract

[fre] A la suite des articles de Gray, ce papier considère le degré d'indexation des salaires comme une variable de commande de la politique économique, que permet de limiter les fluctuations de certains objectifs (ceux qui sont retenus ici sont : la production, la balance commerciale, les prix). On construit et on estime donc des maquettes macro-économiques, qui sont des extensions du modèle de Dornbusch, et on détermine avec ces maquettes les degrés d'indexation optimaux face à différents cbocs pour trois pays : la France, l'Allemagne, le Royaume-Uni. La comparaison des degrés optimaux et des degrés estimés permet de voir à quels chocs les différentes grandeurs économiques sont le plus sensibles pour ces trois pays, et donc clé juger de leur dépendance vis-à-vis des perturbations extérieures, des changements de politique économique. [eng] Price indexation of wages : a stabilization approach . Patrick Artus. Following Gray, this paper considers the degree of price indexation of wages as a policy variable, an appropriate choice of which permetting to limitate the fluctuations of several targets (here : production, the trade balance, prices). Small macro-economie models, which are extensions of Dornbusch's model, are constructed and estimated. The optimal degrees of price indexation are then calculated for various disturbances for three countries : France, Germany and the United-Kingdom. Comparing the optimal and estimated degrees of indexation shows which targets are most affected by the various disturbances for the three countries, and to what extent these three economics respond to international fluctuations and changes in domestic policy.
