Abstract
[fre] Pour comprendre les stratégies actuelles de restructuration des banques françaises, ce travail mesure l'impact des surcapacités de production sur les coûts observés au début des années 1990. La surcapacité de production est ici considérée comme un gaspillage de ressources factorielles par rapport à la production effective. Les résultats montrent que les banques pouvaient diminuer en moyenne de 36% leur coût de production si elles avaient adopté les meilleures pratiques observées dans l'échantillon. Par ailleurs, les scores d'efficacité influencent de manière significative les caractéristiques de la fonction de coût. Ils révèlent la présence d'économies de gamme entre certaines activités bancaires. [eng] The purpose of this study is to analyze the prospects for the transformation of the French banking sector by evaluating the relation between excess capacity and production cost observed in the beginning of the nine teen's. The excess capacity of French banks made the services they provide inefficient. Our results show that banks were able to reduce their cost by some 36 per cent, if they corrected the factor inefficiencies we discovered. We note also that the levels of efficiency scores influenced significantly the banks production costs. Our estimations suggest some economies of scope between different banking services.
