Les tracés divers de la notion de production

Abstract

[fre] Tracer les contours de la production est moins simple qu'il ne peut sembler. On peut se limiter aux activités socialement organisées. On peut à l'inverse chercher à assurer la meilleure comparabilité dans le temps et dans l'espace : le « principe d'invariance » veut alors que la mesure de la production soit indépendante de l'organisation sociale. La « comptabilité du produit matériel », choisie par les pays à planification centrale, se limite à une notion assez restrictive. Les autres pays retiennent en général des notions plus larges, incluant en particulier une production des administrations. C'est le cas de la France, mais seulement depuis 1976. Mais des extensions possibles, aux activités illégales et aux effets externes, ne sont retenues actuellement par aucun pays, pour des raisons plus pratiques que théoriques. D'autres extensions ont été également proposées : inclure toutes les activités pour lesquelles existent la possibilité, même virtuelle, d'un échange; inclure même toutes les activités sans exception, en attribuant aux activités non rémunérées la valeur des activités rémunérées « sacrifiées ». [spa] Los diversos trazados de la noción de producción -Trazar los contornos de la producción no es tan sencillo de lo que parece. Puede uno limitarse a las actividades socialmente organizadas. También se puede, a la inversa, intentar asegurar la mejor equiparación en el tiempo y en el espacio : el « principio de invarianza » implica entonces que la medida de la producción sea independante de la organización social. La « Contabilidad del producto material », escogida por los países de planificación central, se limita a una noción bastante restrictiva. Los demás países adoptan, por lo general, nociones más amplias e incluyen en especial una producción de las administraciones. Tal es el caso de Francia, si bien tan solo desde 1976. Mas extensiones factibles, cuyas actividades son ilegal es y de efectos externos, no se han retenido en la actualidad en ningún país a causa de motivos más prácticos que teóricos. Otras extensiones fueron propuestas también : o sea incluir todas las actividades para las cuales existe la posibilidad, incluso virtual, de un intercambio; incluir, incluso, todas las actividades sin excepción alguna, atribuyendo a las actividades no remuneradas el valor de actividades remuneradas « sacrificadas ». [eng] On the different contours of the notion of production - To track down the different contours of the notion of production is less simple than it would seem. One can limit himself to activities that are socially organised. One can on the other hand seek to ensure the best comparability in time and space : the « principle of invariance », would have it then that the measure of production be independent of social organisation. The " accounting system of the material " chosen by countries with centrally planned economies is limited to a rather restrictive notion. Other countries use definitions of production that are much larger, including in particular the notion of the administration's production. France uses this latter method, but only since 1976. However, possible extensions of the definition, such as to illegal activities or to external effects are not used by any country today for practical rather than theoretical reasons. Other extensions of the definition have also been proposed : for instance, including all the activities for which there exists a possibility of exchange; another fashion would be to include all activities without exception, attributing to the non-remunerated activities a value of " sacrificed " remunerated activities.
