Abstract

[fre] Quels sont les facteurs qui favorisent ou au contraire freinent l ’ usage de l ’ Internet à domicile ? Afin de répondre à cette question , les enquêtes se sont multipliées ces dernières années . Dans cette lignée , cet article propose une modélisation économétrique des choix d ’ adoption de l ’ Internet par les ménages et d ’ achat en ligne , à partir d ’ une enquête effectuée fin 2002 en Bretagne . Cette étude , qui est la première du genre sur données françaises , met en évidence l ’ importance des . facteurs socio-économiques (âge , niveau d ’ étude , CSP ), mais aussi le rôle de l ’ expérience et du voisinage social dans les pratiques liées à l ’ Internet . Cette idée que les choix individuels se font en interaction avec l ’ entourage ou le réseau social se trouve ainsi confirmée en matière d ’ achat en ligne . [eng] What are the forces driving or curbing Internet use in the home ? Agrowing number of surveys have been carried out to address this question . In this vein , this article focuses on the decisions whether to have an Internet access in the home and whether to buy online , using the results of a survey carried out in Brittany at the end of 2002 . The econometric results of this study , the first of its kind using French data , highlight the role of socio-economic factors (age , education , occupation ), but also the positive impact of experience and neighbourhood influences on Internet use . For example , a person will be more likely to buy on the Internet if a large proportion of those in his neighbourhood are accustomed to buying online . This finding gives support to the idea that individual choices regarding online are often taken in interaction with people ’ s immediate circle or with social networks .
