Abstract

[fre] Les réformes de la politique agricole proposées par les ministres des pays de l'OCDE en 1987 et élaborées lors des réunions ministérielles suivantes visent à s'en remettre au marché plutôt qu'aux prix fixés de façon institutionnelle. A la suite des réformes, les producteurs de produits agricoles seront obligés, pour prendre des décisions, de se baser sur des prix déterminés ou influencés par les bourses internationales de marchandises. Un des arguments les plus appropriés pour justifier la dépendance envers les prix déterminés sur le marché est que ceux-ci fourniront des signaux plus précis sur les conditions fondamentales du marché et qu'ils engendreront donc une allocation plus efficiente des ressources. Dans ce contexte, la variabilité des prix pourrait être une question importante. Dans la mesure où les prix de marché guideront de plus en plus les décisions, leur variabilité, en particulier à court et moyen terme, mérite d'être examinée. [eng] Commodity price variability: are markets efficient ? . Reforms in agricultural policy porposed by OECD Ministers in 1987 and elaborated in subsequent Ministerial meetings aim to place greater reliance on market rather than institutionally-set prices. As a result of reforms, producers of agricultural products will be obliged to refer to prices determined in, or influenced by, international commodity exchanges in making their decisions. One of the arguments for greater reliance on market-determined prices is that these will provide more accurate signals of fundamental market conditions and thus will generate an efficient allocation of resources. In this context, price variability may likely be an important issue. To the extent that market prices will increasingly guide decisions, price variability, particularly in the short to medium term, merits examination.
