Abstract

[eng] Location of international financial activities : theoretical findings and recent trends . There has been a growing interest in international financial centres (IFCs) in recent years. Nevertheless, discussion usually focuses on the respective costs and advantages of the different centres. This papers offers theoretical insights on the geography of international financial activities and the function of IFCs. We refer to various models of competition between markets and economic geography and compare their results with recent developments in the international financial environment. Two trends are highlighted : first, the weakening of traditional barriers to concentration of capital markets and greater pressures on geographical concentration of financial activities in largest centres ; and second, incentives to separate geographically the production of international financial activities to exploit specific advantages of the various sites. . JEL Classification : G10, R12 [fre] Les centres financiers internationaux (CFI) ont suscité un intérêt croissant ces dernières années. Cependant, il s’agit le plus souvent de comparer les coûts et avantages respectifs des différents centres. Nous proposons ici une réflexion théorique sur la géographie des activités financières internationales et le rôle des CFI. Nous présentons plusieurs résultats théoriques issus des modèles de concurrence entre marchés et d’économie spatiale, que nous confrontons avec les évolutions récentes de l’environnement financier international. Deux tendances sont soulignées : d’une part, l’affaiblissement des barrières à la concentration des marchés financiers et les pressions à la concentration géographique des activités financières dans les plus grands centres, et, d’autre part, une organisation géographique des activités qui cherche à tirer parti des avantages spécifiques des localisations. . Classification JEL : G10, R12
