Abstract

[fre] Cet article revient sur le célèbre article de O. Lange (1936-37) en prenant appui sur ses premiers écrits (Lange 1932, 1935a, 1935b) afin de montrer qu'il développe une représentation originale du processus marchand. Ces premiers articles mettent en lumière deux points méconnus de ses travaux. 1/ Tout d'abord, Lange développe un modèle original décrivant le processus d'ajustement temporel de l'offre dans les secteurs industriels (en complément du diagramme du cobweb se rapportant principalement aux secteurs agricoles). 2/ Cet article montre ensuite que Lange articule ces différents modèles dans le cadre d'une conception originale du tâtonnement. L'article montre que cette conception relève davantage de l'approche marshallienne que de l'approche walrasienne habituelle. [eng] Based on Lange's neglected first writings (Lange 1932, 1935a, 1935b), this article shows that Lange developed an original conception of market adjustment processes in his famous 1936-7 article. In particular, two points are showed here. 1/ Lange developed an original model that described the lagged and progressive adjustment process of supply in industrial sectors (completing the cobweb diagram that concern mainly agricultural sectors). 2/ Lange tried to articulate these different an particular models in a general frame which corresponds to the tâtonnement. The article shows that this conception is related to a marshallian approach rather than to a walrassian one.
