Abstract

[fre] Une triple insatisfaction doit animer nos réflexions. Nous devons être insatisfaits de l'évolution des investissements en France au cours des quinze dernières années puisque nous constatons d'une part une substitution trop rapide du capital au travail, d'autre part une perte de compétitivité due à un développement insuffisant des capacités de production rentables. Nous devons être insatisfaits vis-à-vis de la théorie économique de l'investissement qui incorpore mal les considérations les plus importantes à moyen terme. Nous devons être insatisfaits vis-à-vis de l'économétrie dont les résultats sont malheureusement trop imprécis. [eng] Our discussions must consider three causes for worry. We cannot be content with the course of French investment during the past fifteen years since substitution of capital for labor was too fast and the too slow developement of productive capacities resulted in a loss of competitiveness. We cannot be content with the present state of the economic theory of investment since it badly deals with some considerations that are most important from a medium term viewpoint. We cannot be content with econometrics whose results unfortunately are too inaccurate.
