Abstract

L'étude des substitutions aussi bien à un niveau agrégé - substitutions entre facteurs de production - qu'au niveau énergétique - substitutions entre énergies - est au centre des préoccupations des modélisateurs, elle fait appel au concept d'élasticité de substitution qui s'avère complexe et multiple. Dans cet article, une réflexion est menée sur le concept d'élasticité et sur sa représentation dans les modèles économétriques. De plus, un parallèle est établi entre la théorie du consommateur et la théorie du producteur afin de relier différentes définitions et de montrer sous quelles conditions l'élasticité de substitution de Allen peut indifféremment être employée en théorie de la production et de l'utilité. Une étude empirique portant sur les secteurs industriel et résidentiel français illustre la multiplicité des définitions du concept d'élasticité, plusieurs spécifications sont estimées. En conclusion, nous nous interrogeons sur la fiabilité du concept d'élasticité comme outil de prévision.
