Abstract

[eng] Innovation and Long Term Evolution of Industries This article presents the new developments in industry life cycle analysis, compared to the basic model of Gort and Klepper [1982]. In a context where industry life cycle models are back at the centre stage of the economic literature, the purpose of the article is, first, to assess the analytical and empirical results of this specific trend of industrial dynamics. Second, it is to show the limits of this framework in integrating some crucial determinants of the industrial dynamics - such as vertical relationships, different types of interfirms cooperation, the nature of demand, market segmentation, or the industrial property context — which are nevertheless key evolution mechanisms of industries in modern economies. Third, it is to characterize the possible connexions and/or divergences between industry life cycle models and other trends of the industrial dynamics literature, be they evolutionary or mainstream, able to come over the preceding limitations. [fre] Jackie Kraflt, Marie-Antoinette Maupertuis Innovation et évolution industrielle de long terme. Cet article présente les développements récents des modèles de cycle de vie de l'industrie, en soulignant notamment les avancées réalisées par rapport au modèle de base de Gort et Klepper [1982]. Compte tenu du regain d'intérêt actuel pour ce type de littérature, l'objet de cet article est, tout d'abord, de retracer les résultats analytiques et empiriques de ce courant particulier de littérature dédiée à la dynamique industrielle. Il est, ensuite, de montrer les limites de ces modèles dans la prise en compte de certains déterminants fondamentaux de la dynamique industrielle - comme les relations verticales, les différents types de coopération inter-fîrmes, la nature de la demande, la segmentation des marchés, ou le contexte de propriété industrielle - qui sont pourtant constitutifs des mécanismes d'évolution des industries dans les économies modernes. Il est, enfin, de rechercher les points de rencontre et/ou de divergence existant entre ce courant et d'autres approches - évolu- tionniste ou traditionnelle — de la dynamique industrielle, en permettant de repousser les limites précédemment identifiées.
