Abstract

[fre] Distorsions sur les marchés des facteurs et évolution des spécialisations internationales. . Depuis une vingtaine d'années, la théorie pure du commerce international conçoit l'évolution des spécialisations comme la transition obligatoire d'un équilibre de courte période décrit par le modèle Ricardo-Vinerà un équilibre de longue période décrit par le modèle Heckscher-Ohlin-Samuelson. À l'aide de la technique gra­phique des frontières de production, le présent article montre qu'un tel processus de transition se révèle potentiellement instable. Les spécialisations internationales sont alors tout autant le résultat des contingences historiques et des choix des indi­vidus que la conséquence des dotations factorielles physiques des nations. [eng] Factor market distortions and evolution of international specializations. . The theory of international trade supposes that the Heckscher-Ohlin-Samuelson model is the long-run equilibrium to which ail short-run equilibria go up. This paper proves with production possibility curves that the medium-run process of adjustment is generally unstable. It explains that international specializations are determined partly by the history of process and individual expectations.
