Abstract

The most highly internationalised industries are thought to be more competitive than the rest, since their high exposure to international competition forces them to strive constantly to become more efficient and they are in a position to take advantage of all the opportunities that arise in world markets. But to determine whether this is in fact the case, each country’s industries must first be classified in terms of their degree of globalisation.This report proposes a method for classifying each country’s manufacturing industries by their extent of globalisation, using a set of indicators. The results obtained show that the degree of globalisation is more closely linked to the characteristics of industrial sectors than to the country’s specialisation. These results could be improved significantly if some of the proposed indicators were available ... La mondialisation des industries dans les pays de l'OCDE Les industries les plus internationalisées sont considérées comme plus performantes que les autres à cause de l’effort permanent d’efficacité que nécessite leur forte exposition à la concurrence internationale et leur capacité à saisir toutes les opportunités qui se présentent sur les marchés mondiaux. La vérification empirique d’une telle proposition exige un classement préalable des différentes industries de chaque pays en fonction de leur degré de mondialisation.Le présente rapport propose une méthode qui permet de classer les industries manufacturières de chaque pays selon leur degré de mondialisation, à l’aide d’un ensemble d’indicateurs. Les résultats obtenus montrent que le degré de mondialisation des différentes industries dépend davantage des caractéristiques des secteurs industriels plutôt que de la spécialisation de chaque pays. Ces résultats pourraient être sensiblement améliorés si certains indicateurs proposés étaient disponibles ...
