Abstract

[fre] Imaginons. Comment aurait évolué l'économie française si en 1979 l'environnement international avait été moins perturbé ou si la politique économique de la France avait été différente? Simulant d'autres évolutions de l'économie française pour 1979, le modèle METRIC permet de chiffrer ces vues de l'esprit, en termes de portée spécifique de tel ou tel événement ou décision. D'après cet exercice, il apparaît que les mesures de politique économique prises en 1979 et les divers aspects du contexte international n'ont pas pesé également sur l'économie de notre pays. Il convient de faire ressortir deux événements particulièrement marquants. D'abord la hausse du prix du pétrole dont les effets directs sur la croissance et sur l'inflation sont limités, mais qui a sensiblement dégradé la balance commerciale. Ensuite, l'accroissement des taux de cotisation sociale, qui a fortement freiné la croissance, mais a permis de rééquilibrer les finances publiques. [spa] Volver a escribir el historial del año 1979 - Representémonos ? en que forma hubiera evolucionado la economía francesa si el medio ambiente internacional hubiere sido, en 1979, menos alterado o si la politica economica francesa hubiera sido distinta? El modelo METRIC, el cual simula otras evoluciones de la economía francesa para el año 1979 permite cifrar dichos puntos de vista, en terminos de alcance específico de tal o cual acontecimiento o decision. A raiz de este ejercicio mental, parece ser que las medidas de política economica adoptadas en 1979 asi como los distintos aspectos del contexto internacional no influyeron de igual manera en la economía de nuestro país. Conviene señalar dos acontecimientos especialmente dignos de mencion. En primer lugar, el alza de los precios petroleros cuyas implicaciones directas en el crecimiento y en la infiación se verifican limitadas si bien perturbé sumamente la balanza comercial. A continuación, el incremento de las tasas de cuotas sociales, el que frenó considerablemente el crecimiento, pero el que permitió reequilibrar parcialmente las finanzas públicas. [eng] Re-writing 1979 - Let us imagine what the French economy would have been in 1979 if the international situation had been less troubled or if France's economic policies had been different. By simulating a different evolution of the French economy for 1979, the METRIC model made it possible to quantify these theoretical views in terms of the specific consequences of specific events or decisions. As a result of this exercice, it emerged that the various mesures of economic policy taken in 1979 and the different aspects of the international context did not equally influence the economy. Two events were particularly significant. First, there was the rise in oil prices, whose direct effects on growth and inflation were limited, but which had great impact on the trade balance. Then, there was the increase of the various deductions and contributions for health and welfare, which significantly reduced growth, but which partially made possible to balance public finances.
