Abstract

Cet article cherche à mesurer les différences de productivité entre les entreprises de six pays européens au cours de la période 1996-2007 et de fournir des éléments d'interprétation des écarts ainsi observés. L'approche proposée se caractérise par deux originalités. D'une part, la mesure de la valeur ajoutée et des niveaux de productivité est réalisée à partir de données comptables harmonisées issues de la base européenne BACH. De l'autre, l'inscription des firmes dans une logique de système est capturée grâce à l'estimation d'un modèle de panel à effets fixes permettant d'apprécier l'hétérogénéité inobservée. Cette analyse est conduite au niveau global, pour trois secteurs (industrie, construction et services) et pour trois catégories de tailles d'entreprises (petites, moyennes et grandes). Les résultats obtenus mettent en évidence des configurations productives spécifiques saisies à travers les performances relatives des firmes selon leur dimension ou encore la productivité relative des différents secteurs économiques. Ils mettent également en évidence un «effet pays» qui cristallise un ensemble d'éléments organisationnels et institutionnels qui dépassent les seuls facteurs de production.
