Abstract

Les restitutions à l'exportation de céréales européennes sont majoritairement attribuées par voie d'adjudication. La théorie des enchères est appliquée aux stratégies d'offre de prix d'achat de stocks d'intervention de blé tendre par les opérateurs. Ceci permet de caractériser le comportement de ces derniers, face à un tel instrument de régulation des marchés. La spécification et la méthode d'estimation des stratégies d'offre optimales sont développées sous deux hypothèses contrastées, relatives aux évaluations individuelles des céréales par ces opérateurs. Il s'agit des paradigmes de "valeurs privées" et de "valeur commune". Une hypothèse peu restrictive conduit à une forme réduite des modèles dont l'estimation est relativement simple, hormis quelques calculs additionnels nécessaires à une caractérisation complète des distributions latentes correspondant à chaque paradigme. Les résultats empiriques permettent finalement de conclure aux deux éléments suivants : d'une part l'hypothèse de valeur commune est la plus appropriée, ce qui signifie que les comportements des agents sont dictés par une référence unique sur le marché mondial, d'autre part la procédure d'adjudication utilisée par la Commission européenne se montre efficace, puisque les exportateurs ne tireraient pratiquement aucune rente lors de l'achat des stocks d'intervention.
