[spa] Un analisis sobre "Veinte anos de actividad del sector Construcciôn-Obras Pûblicas" . Después de mâs de veinte anos de una expansion continua, de 1 950 a 1 974, el BTP (Sector Construcciôn-Obras Pûbli- cas) expérimenté entre 1 975y 1 985 unasevera recesiôn. Los dos choques petroleros lo perjudicaron fuertemente en el mercado interior. Desde este punto de vista su perfil seaproxi- mô el de sus homôlogos europeos. Pero los grandes grupos que estructuran el sector supieron, en ese entonces, sacar provecho de los mercados en expansion de los pafses de la OPEP. Desde 1 985, los lideresfranceses ubicadosen los pri- meros puestos de las empresas comunitarias, se voMeron a centrar en el mercado nacional y a orientar sus exporta- ciones hacia los pafses industrializados. . Si bien la actividad econômica de conjunto surge como el déterminante principal de la actividad del sector, otros factures desemperïan también un papel importante a cor- to plazo : la inversion de los hogares es sensible a las ta- sas de interés y la de las empresas a los mârgenes de beneficio. Las perspectivas de evoluciôn de estos fac- tores ponen de realce el hecho que el sector BTP ha so- brepasado quizes su tendencia déclinante.

After more than twenty years of steady growth, from 1 950 to 1 974, the sector went through a period of severe recession from 1 975 to 1 985. The two oil crises seriously handicapped this sector on the domestic market In this respect, it is similar to its European counterparts. But the large groups which make up this sector were then able to take advantage of the buoyant markets of OP.E.C. countries. Since 1985, the leading French firms, which areinthe top ranksintheCommunity, have re-focused on the domestic market and have reoriented their exports towards industrialized countries. . The overall economic activity seems to be the major determining factor in the buoyancy of the sector, but other factors play an important role in the short run : household investment is sensitive to interest rates and that of firms to the rate of return. The trends of these factors suggest that the building-trade and public works sector may have put an end to its decline : the stabilization of its influence on the GDP, which has taken place since 1 985, could then continue. [fre] Une analyse sur 20 ans de l'activité du bâtiment-travaux publics . Après plus de vingt ans d'une expansion continue, de 1 950 à 1 974, le BTP a connu entre 1 975 et 1 985 une sévère récession. Les deux chocs pétroliers l'ont fortement handicapé sur le marché intérieur. De ce point de vue, il est proche de ses homologues européens. Mais les grands groupes qui structurent le secteur ont alors su profiter des marchés porteurs des pays de l'OPER Depuis 1 985, les leaders français, aux premiers rangs des entreprises de la Communauté, se recentrent sur le marché national et réorientent leurs exportations vers les pays industrialisés. . Si l'activité économique d'ensemble apparaît comme le principal déterminant de celle du secteur, d'autres facteurs jouent un rôle important à court terme : l'investissement des ménages est sensible aux taux d'intérêt, celui des entreprises à leur taux de marge. Les perspectives d'évolution de ces facteurs suggèrent que le BTP a peut- être enrayé sa tendance déclinante : la stabilisation de son poids dans le PIB, effective depuis 1 985, pourrait ainsi se prolonger.
