Abstract

[eng] Intensifying opposed to cost-cutting - Cost cutting means a lower cost per unit of output. Drop in inputs means ignorance of husbandry and technology. For a given level of inputs yields increases with input associated informations. As a consequence, cutting Unitarian costs involves a better use of technology. The study of some different english systems shows that it is also true for fixed costs. Highest cost systems are often best users of capital. So cost cutting calls for more and better informations in inputs utilization. It means scientific intensification. [fre] Dans une optique micro-économique, on doit envisager la réduction des coûts de production comme une recherche du moindre coût à l'unité produite. La baisse du niveau des consommations intermédiaires masque souvent une ignorance technique. Pour un niveau donné d'intrants, le rendement croît avec la quantité d'informations pertinentes associées. La réduction des coûts unitaires passe donc par une augmentation de la performance technologique. L'étude de plusieurs systèmes de production anglais montre que ce raisonnement est vrai aussi pour les coûts fixes. Les systèmes intensifs sont souvent ceux qui valorisent le mieux le capital. Loin de rejeter l'intensification, la réduction des coûts de production nécessite un accroissement d'information dans l'utilisation des intrants. Elle commande une véritable intensification scientifique.
