Abstract

Cet article présente un mécanisme de croissance fondé sur le changement auto-entretenue de la division du travail. La division du travail a lieu au sein des firmes. Elle engendre des gains de productivité dans la firme, mais elle est limitée par les coûts de coordination. La division du travail dans la firme donne lieu à la possibilité d'introduire de nouveaux biens capitaux produits par des firmes, qui peuvent elles aussi diviser le travail. Ce processus cumulatif d'augmentation du nombre de tâches réalisées au sein des firmes aboutit à un modèle de croissance par l'augmentation des détours de production. L'étude de la division optimale du travail montre que l'équilibre décentralisé n'alloue pas assez de ressources à la coodination de la division du travail.
