Abstract

Notre projet était initialement d'explorer les extensions possibles du concept de valeur d'option, à l'intérieur du domaine où ce concept avait pris naissance, il y a un quart de siècle, avec l'article fondateur de B.A. Weisbrod : le domaine des biens environnementaux. C'est là en effet que nous paraissaient devoir se révéler avec le plus de netteté les multiples dimensions des notions d'irréversibilité et d'incertitude, étroitement associées au concept d'information : déclenchés par des "effets de seuil" résultant, sur le plan global, de la composition de comportements parfaitement rationnel au niveau individuel, les phénomènes d'irréversibilité saisis dans ce cadre (disparition d'une espèce, ou d'une ressource naturelle, par exemple) permettaient a priori de lier l'analyse microéconomique des choix aux conséquences macroéconomiques de ceux-ci, et de donner sa signification la plus radicale à l'incertitude dans laquelle ces choix s'effectuent. L'impossibilité de dresser une liste exhaustive des états du monde possibles - ce lot commun des agents au moment de leurs prises de décisions - et l'irréversibilité le plus souvent attachée aux conséquences de ces dernières, apparaissaient ainsi sous leur jour le plus brutal, ce qui devait donner d'autant plus de force aux implications théoriques potentilles du concept de valeur d'option que celui-ci venait jouer dans un tel cadre.
