Abstract

[eng] The Investment behavior of french firms : a questionning analysis, . by Michel Norotte, Pierre Morin, Gilbert Venet.. . The purpose of this article is the analysis of the investment behavior of french firms. French firms invested very actively before the first "oil shock", but their investment behavior can be considered somewhat disappointing since the second "oil shock", if compared with the other main countries of the Oecd. . . The article points out the deterioration of corporations' financial situation until 1982 and the recovery thereafter. It also tries to summarize the various econometric works dealing with the influence of anticipated demand, relative price of factors and profit as determinants of investment. . . Many difficulties appear so that the value of less conventional studies is emphasized: neo classical functions, desequilibrium models, influence of profitability and of the Tobin's ratio. . . However, investment behavior should not be isolated from the numerous elements which contribute, in a way or another, to the production capacities of firms, such as labor training, research and development. In addition, some new distinctions seem quite relevant when one considers the changes firms have to go through in the current période. A good example is "traditional" investment as opposed to investment in computer systems or computer assisted devices and machinery. . . JEL: 132-122-211 [fre] Le comportement d'investissement des entreprises françaises : analyses et problèmes, . par Michel Norotte, Pierre Morin, Gilbert Venet.. . Le but de cet article est de faire le point sur le comportement d'investissement des entreprises françaises qui, particulièrement dynamique avant le premier choc pétrolier, a semblé ces dernières années un peu décevant par rapport à celui des principaux pays de l'Ocdé. L'étude rappelle la dégradation des comptes des entreprises jusqu'en 1982, leur redressement depuis. Elle cherche à rendre compte des multiples travaux destinés à caractériser l'influence des anticipations de demande, du coût relatif des facteurs et du profit. De nombreuses difficultés apparaissent et l'intérêt d'approches moins conventionnelles (comportements néo-classiques, modèles de déséquilibre, influence de la profitabilité et du ratio de Tobin) est souligné. . . Cependant le comportement d'investissement ne peut être isolé de tout ce qui contribue à la capacité de production de l'entreprise : formation des hommes, recherche-développement, tandis que certaines différences apparaissent particulièrement pertinentes, surtout dans une période d'adaptation à un contexte nouveau : ainsi celle qui fait la distinction entre l'investissement traditionnel et celui qui permet les applications de l'informatique.
