Abstract

[fre] L’objet de cet article est de proposer une photographie générale de la détention et de l’usage des instruments de paiement en France et de déterminer quels facteurs influencent les comportements de paiement des individus. Nous montrons qu’une grande majorité des Français disposent, outre les espèces, d’un chéquier et d’une carte de débit pour régler leurs dépenses. Les instruments de paiement qui permettent de gérer une trésorerie (cartes de crédit, certaines cartes accréditives ou privatives) sont moins développés. L’âge, le revenu, le diplôme et la profession influencent les taux de détention pour le chèque et la carte de débit. L’usage des instruments de paiement dépend non seulement de l’âge et du revenu de l’individu mais aussi des caractéristiques de la transaction (valeur, type de commerce, etc.). . Classification JEL : E41, E49 [eng] Detention and use of payment instruments in France . In this article, we offer a general picture of the detention and the use of payment instruments in France, and we determine which variables influence consumer payment behavior. We show that a large majority of the French hold a checkbook and a debit card to pay for their expenses. The payment instruments, that enable consumers to manage their bank account by offering them access to credit, such as credit cards and private label cards, are less developed. We show that the variables age, income, diploma and occupation influence the detention rates of the checkbook and the debit card. The use of payment instruments depends not only on age and income, but also on the characteristics of the transaction (its value, the type of store, its periodicity, etc...). . Classification JEL : E41, E49
