Abstract

[eng] Irrespective of how one defines the « new economy », it is obvious that it is a relatively recent phenomenon whose full implications are not yet fully understood. Considerable attention has been paid so far to the risk of creating a digital divide between those who are plugged into the « new economy » and those who are excluded, both within countries and among countries. the « new economy » gives rise to many new challenges and offers many new opportunities. This article first presents a definition of the concept of « new economy » and provides a brief overview of what has been learned so far about the economic impact of this concept. This is followed by a quick review of the state of the « new economy » in the EU accession countries. Finally, the paper explains how the EBRD can assist EU accession countries in developing their « new economy ». . JEL classifications : O30, P20 [fre] La « nouvelle économie », les défis de l’adhésion à l’UE et la BERD . Quelle que soit la manière dont on définit la « nouvelle économie », il est évident qu’il s’agit d’un phénomène relativement nouveau dont les implications ne sont pas encore totalement perçues. Une attention considérable a été consacrée jusqu’à présent au risque d’émergence - au sein des pays et entre eux - d’une fracture entre ceux qui sont intégrés dans la « nouvelle économie » et ceux qui en sont exclus. Elle crée donc de nouveaux défis et offre une multitude de possibilités nouvelles. Cet article tente, tout d’abord, de définir ce concept, puis offre un bref aperçu de ce que nous savons de l’impact de ce phénomène. Suit un rapide survol de l’état de la «nouvelle économie» dans les pays candidats à l’adhésion à l’UE. Enfin, la suite du document explique comment la BERD peut aider les pays candidats à développer leur « nouvelle économie ». . Classification JEL : O30, P20
