Abstract
[eng] International Trade Integration and Consumer Prices in Europe, 1998-2008. . Globalisation helps to restrain the rise in prices of many goods by encouraging economies to specialise in sectors where they hold comparative advantages. In particular, the goods that are most traded internationally – excluding fossil fuels– are those most likely to experience lower inflation. We seek to identify the European countries that have most benefited from this lower inflation in 1998-2008, and to explain the heterogeneity of country price trends. We find three significant determinants for these differences : the degree of penetration of imports from emerging countries, initial price levels, and changes in retail-trade regulations. [fre] En incitant les différentes économies à se spécialiser dans les secteurs dans lesquels elles disposent d’avantages comparatifs, la mondialisation contribue à limiter la hausse des prix de nombreux biens. Les biens les plus échangés internationalement, hors énergie fossile, sont ceux qui sont les plus susceptibles de connaître une moindre inflation. Cet article cherche à identifier quels sont les pays européens qui ont le plus bénéficié de cette moindre inflation sur la période 1998-2008 et comment s’explique l’hétérogénéité des situations individuelles. Des facteurs comme le degré de pénétration des importations en provenance des pays émergents, le niveau initial des prix ou encore l’évolution de la réglementation du secteur de la distribution sont mis en avant pour expliquer ces différences d’évolution de prix.
