Abstract

Cet article propose une analyse Žconomique de la sŽcession. Il s'inspire des travaux d'Alesina et Spolaore (1997), de Berkowitz (1997) et de Bolton et Roland (1997). Le raisonnement menŽ au niveau des Etats est largement transfŽrable aux collectivitŽs locales (rŽgions, villes,...). Le recours ˆ une reprŽsentation spatiale de la population nous permet d'apprŽhender l'hŽtŽrogŽnŽitŽ des prŽfŽrences individuelles en matire de bien public. Le pays est supposŽ divisŽ en deux rŽgions. La dŽcision de sŽcession rŽsulte d'un arbitrage individuel entre pression fiscale et localisation du bien public local, cet arbitrage Žvoluant selon la taille et le dŽcoupage rŽgional du pays. En l'absence de disparitŽs de revenus, nous montrons que le centre, la plus grande des deux rŽgions, est davantage enclin ˆ l'indŽpendance. Une approche normative, en terme de surplus, conclut notre analyse en apprŽciant l'efficacitŽ Žconomique du processus dŽmocratique. Il appara”t alors que toute sŽcession unilatŽrale rŽduit le bien-tre des deux rŽgions.
