Abstract
[eng] From one financial intermediation to another : the disintermediation case . The recent changes which have occurred in the structure of financial and investment flows have shown a relative fall in the share of credit institutions. This would explain the tread towards a greater disintermediation. In fact, the statistical measure of this phenomenon gives some divergent results, which can be explained by arguable assumptions, grounded on a too narrow concept of financial intermediation. A broader theory should integrate the complementary role of financial institutions and security markets. The proposed integration is not based on the difference between the two financing modes, direct or indirect, but between two activities : either the issue of monetary or non-monetary assets on the institutions themselves, or the brokerage on short — or long — term securities. These activities are performed by four different ways, and this concentration in one institution or their separation between different ones depends on the degree of legal constraints. [fre] Les transformations enregistrées récemment dans la structure des flux de financement et de placement ont révélé une baisse de la part relative des établissements de crédit, qui exprimerait un processus de désintermédiation. Or, la mesure statistique de ce phénomène aboutit à des résultats divergents, qui s'expliquent par des hypothèses discutables liées à une conception trop étroite de l'intermédiation financière. Une théorie plus générale devrait permettre d'intégrer les rôles complémentaires des institutions financières et des marchés de titres. L'intégration qui est proposée repose sur la distinction, non pas des deux modes de financement, direct ou indirect, mais des deux activités d'intermédiaire financier : soit la production d'actifs financiers monétaires et non monétaires sur eux-mêmes, soit le courtage en titres courts ou longs, qui s'exercent à travers l'accomplissement de quatre fonctions dont la combinaison dans une même institution ou la séparation dans différentes institutions dépend du degré de restrictions légales.
