Résumé

Cet article propose d’analyser le lien entre la stabilité d’un cartel et les problèmes qui ont prévalus à sa formation. Pour cela nous reconsidérons, dans un contexte dissymétrique, les concepts de stabilité proposés à l’origine par d’Aspremont, Jacquemin, Gabszewicz et Weymark [1983]. L’hétérogénéité des agents dans l’industrie nous conduit alors à adopter une approche « individu par individu » permettant de dresser une typologie des participants potentiels à la formation du cartel. Nous illustrons cette analyse conceptuelle par une application à un contexte de différenciation spatiale.

Summary

Summary

In this article, we attempt to analyse the relation between the stability of a cartel and the problems that lead to its creation. For this purpose, we consider, in an asymmetric situation, the stability concepts proposed by d’Aspremont, Jacquemin, Gabszewicz and Weymark [1983]. The heterogeneity of agents in the industry leads us to adopt an “agent by agent” approach, which permits us to develop a characterization of the potential participants in a cartel. We illustrate the theoretical analysis with an application in the context of spatial differentiation.
