Une présentation critique de rente ricardienne

Abstract

[fre] La dynamique ricardienne est traditionnellement présentée comme reposant sur les rendements décroissants dans l'agriculture. Une liaison est alors instituée entre la quantité de terre mise en œuvre et la rente à laquelle elle donne lieu. L'analyse est ensuite généralisée à l'ensemble des productions confrontées à des raretés naturelles et en particulier aux productions minières.. A la lumière de la formalisation récente de la théorie des prix de production, l'auteur montre qu'il est inexact que la rente dépende du seul volume de la production de la branche considérée : avec la croissance du salaire, la rente doit généralement passer par un minimum qui peut être nul. La démonstration est menée tout d'abord dans le cadre de « l'économie en blé » avant d'être généralisée au modèle en prix. Cette démonstration conduit à une remise en cause du critère de détermination de « l'enveloppe » des courbes-salaires, dans tout système de production soumis à la rareté des ressources. [eng] Ricardian's rent theory : a critical approach . The ricardian theory is traditionally explained as being based on decreasing returns in agriculture, where the given rent is a function of the amount of cultivated land. This type of analyste has been generalised to include all products that are faced with scarcity and this is especially true in the case of mining products.. Basing his research on the recent formalisation of the production price theory, the author shows that rent does not depend simply on the quantity of commodities produced in a given industry. What he wants to demonstrate is this : as wages increase rent must, generally, decrease to a minimum (even zero) before it increases again. Proof of this first demonstrated in the particular case of « corn profit theory » and is then generalised to the price model. The author is then led to question the criterion that fixes the « envelope » of the wage-curves, in every System involving scare resources.
