Abstract

[eng] The concept of contract has become essential in economics for the last 30 years. Three main theoretical frameworks emerged : the "incentive theory", the "incomplete contract theory" and the "transaction costs theory". These frameworks enabled scholars to renew their analysis of microeconomic co-ordination problems, with many implications for Industrial Economies. Beyond this, the analyses of the performing of "market" economies and of the institutional framework were also renewed. If substantial progress has been made, new developments are needed. They require a better understanding of bounded rationality and also of interactions between contracts and institutions. [fre] Durant les trente dernières années, le concept de contrat est devenu central pour l'analyse économique. Trois courants théoriques en sont nés : « incitations », « contrats incomplets », et « coûts de transaction ». Ils ont permis de renouveler notre lecture du fonctionnement des interactions micro-économiques, éclairant d'un jour nouveau de nombreuses questions d'économie industrielle. Mais au-delà, c'est l'analyse du fonctionnement même des économies « de marché » et celle du cadre institutionnel qui ont été renouvelées. Si les avancées ont déjà été importantes, des développements sont néanmoins attendus d'un traitement plus pertinent de la rationalité limitée et des interactions entre contrats et institutions.
