Abstract

[fre] L'économie classique présentait le métayage, dans une perspective évolutionniste, comme un mode de faire-valoir rendu indispensable par le faible niveau d'accumulation de capital des tenanciers. Par la suite, l'approche néo-classique orthodoxe n'a pas pu apporter d'explication satisfaisante à l'existence du métayage. Depuis deux décennies, on assiste à un foisonnement d'analyses proposées par des tenants de la Nouvelle Economie Institutionnelle, qui appréhendent la rationalité économique du métayage au regard du risque, de l'imperfection des marchés, des asymétries informationnelles et des coûts de transaction. [eng] In an evolutionary approach, classical economists understood sharecropping as a tenancy system imposed mainly by tenants' capital constraints. Later, the orthodox neoclassical economics has not been able to offer a satisfactory explanation of sharecropping. Since two decades, New Institutional economists have been analyzing the economic rationality of sharecropping in terms of risk, imperfect markets, asymmetrical information, and transaction costs.
