Abstract

[eng] A daily newspaper is sold both to the reader and to the advertiser who buys the « target », i.e. the readership. This article will try to verify, within the framework of the French local newspaper industry, whether the ownership structure is likely to have an effect on the pricing behavior of daily newspapers' publishers. A newspaper seems to have the advantage of a significant room of manoeuvre owing to the importance of scale economies and sunk costs. Thanks to this degree of freedom, different behaviors can be taken according to the nature of ownership. As a conclusion, it can globally be said that a newspaper belonging to a typical traditional private company sets higher advertising rates than those of the sector as a whole. Yet, the nature of ownership does not seem - in the short run - to have an influence on the price differences established between two periods of time when there is a change in proprietorship. [fre] La presse quotidienne est vendue au lecteur et au publicitaire qui achètent la cible que représente le lectorat. L'article cherche à vérifier dans le cadre de l'industrie de la presse locale française, si la structure des droits de propriété est susceptible d'affecter le comportement de tarification des éditeurs de presse quotidienne. Les journaux semblent bénéficier d'une marge de manoeuvre significative en raison de l'importance des économies d'échelle et des coûts irrécupérables. Ce degré de liberté autorise les acteurs à adopter des comportements différents selon la nature des droits de propriété. Notre conclusion est que globalement les journaux qui appartiennent à des entreprises privées de type traditionnel fixent des tarifs publicitaires supérieurs à la moyenne du secteur. Mais il ne semble pas que la nature de la propriété influence à court terme les écarts tarifaires constatés entre deux périodes lors de changements de propriétaires.
