Abstract

[fre] Cet article se propose d'analyser les fonctions d'emploi à court terme à partir d'une représentation du système productif en secteur monopoliste et secteur concurrentiel. La méthode d'analyse utilisée consiste à opérer en deux temps une fonction de production spécifiée pour chaque secteur permet de dégager l'emploi efficace. Une fonction de comportement, elle-même différenciée, consiste à compléter l'influence des facteurs techniques par des éléments économiques, sociaux et institutionnels. La vérification empirique permet de tracer des lignes de séparation entre secteur concurrentiel (biens de consommation) et secteur monopoliste (intermédiaire et équipement). La lisibilité est moins nette au niveau des fonctions de comportement, tout au moins en ce qui concerne les biens d'équipement. [eng] Short term employment ad]ustement to the level of production : from technical relations to behavioural functions. Bernard Guilhon, Jean-Louis Roos. This article is aimed at analysing short term employment fonctions through a dual representation of the industry between a monopolistic sector and a competitive sector. The method is as follows : first, a production fonction is specified for each sector and allows to compute a level of « required » employment. Then a behaoior fonction, also differentiated between the two sectors, completes the influence of technical factors by taking into account other economic, social and institutionnel!, factors. Empirical testing allows to draw the parting Une between the competitive sector (constimption goods) and the monopolistic sector (intermediary and equipment goods). The results are not as clear regarding the behavior fonctions, at least as far as equipment goods are concerned.
