Abstract

[fre] Résumé La démographie des entreprises esquissée ici est parvenue à quelques résultats significatifs. D'abord, les liens intimes entre deux couples, le couple créations de société/investissements et le couple faillites/prix. Ensuite, la démographie des entreprises suggère, parmi les grands tournants chronologiques de l'économie nationale, d'adopter la fin des années 1880 plutôt que 1896 ou 1905 pour marquer le terme de la Grande Dépression et le debut de là reprise. Enfin, l'analyse statistique permet de saisir les décalages mais aussi les articulations existant dans le pays entre le poids et le comportement particuliers de la capitale, et les degrés divers des développements départementaux. [eng] Summary The study of the rise and decline, or « demography » of businesses sketched here has led to certain significant results. Firstly, the revelation of intimate links existing between two pairs of elements : that of the creation of businesses related to investments, and that of bankruptcies related to prices. Secondly, this « demography » of businesses suggests that, among the great chronological turning-points in the national economy, we might adopt the end of the 1880s as marking the end of the Great Depression and the outset of the economic revival, rather than either 1896 or 1905. Finally, statistical analysis allows us to define, within the country as a whole, the lack of synchronisation, as well as the interaction between the particular behaviour or the capital and its dominance, and the varying degrees of development in the provinces.
