Abstract

[fre] Entreprises en essor ou en déclin : pourquoi ? . par Patrick Artus, François Legendre et Pierre Morin.. . Sur données de panel, la dispersion des caractéristiques des entreprises est chaque année importante. La diversité de leurs évolutions dans le temps l'est également. Le but de cet article est d'abord de décrire la variété des trajectoires des entreprises, puis de rechercher des causes susceptibles de contribuer au développement — ou au déclin —des firmes. Une attention particulière est portée au comportement d'investissement avec le souci de repérer, si possible, un type de comportement vertueux susceptible d'aider au redressement des entreprises qui en accepteraient le risque. [spa] El porqué del auge o de la decadencia de las empresas,. por Patrick Artus, François Legendre y Pierre Morin.. . En base a datos de panel, la dispersión de las características de las empresas es cada año importante. La diversidad de sus evoluciones en el tiempo lo es también. Este artículo tiene el propósito ante todo de describir la variedad de las trayectorias de las empresas, y luego buscar las causas que puedan contribuir al desarrollo — o a la decadencia — de las firmas. Se brinda una atención especial al compartamiento de la inversión procurando identificar, en lo posible, un tipo de comportamiento virtuoso capaz de servir de ayuda a la recuperación de las empresas que aceptaran correr el riesgo. [ger] Gründe für den wirtschaftlichen Aufschwung oder Rückgang der Unternehmen, . von Patrick Artus, François Legendre, Pierre Morin.. . Nach den Paneldaten ist die Streuung der Betriebscharakteristika jedes Jahrvon erheblichem Ausmaß. Beträchtlich ist auch die Vielfalt ihrer zeitlichen Entwicklungsabläufe. Dieser Artikel zielt zunächst darauf ab, die divergierende Entwicklung der Unternehmen zu beschreiben und dann den Ursachen nachzugehen, die möglicherweise zum Aufschwung — öder Ruckgang — der Unternehmen beitragen. Besondere Aufmerksamkeit gilt dem Investitionsver-halten, wobei sich das Interesse nach Möglichkeit auf die Ermittlung eines Wohlverhaltens richtet, das geeignet wäre, zur Sanierung der Unternehmen beizutragen, die das entsprechende Risiko eingehen würden. [eng] Companies on the Rise, Companies in Decline: Why? . by Patrick Artus, François Legendre and Pierre Morin.. . According to panel data, the dispersion of the characteristics of business firms is significant every year. Companies also show great diversity in their evolution over the course of time. The purpose of this article is, first, to describe the variety of paths followed by firms, and next, to seek causes likely to contribute to their expansion or decline. Stress is laid on capital investment behaviour, with a special concern for identifying, if possible, a type of "good behaviour" that could favour the recovery of companies willing to try it.
