Abstract

[fre] Cet article est une revue des problèmes liés aux contraintes de l'équilibre écono­mique général et des tentatives pour relâcher certaines d'entre elles. Un premier ensemble de questions a trait à l'indépendance des ensembles de production et de consommation (Kornai, Morishima, Hahn, Guesnerie) et à la question de la convexité. Un second ensemble est ordonné autour de la question : le prix est-il nécessairement la seule information? (Drèze, Arrow, Debreu, Radnek, etc.). La question du pouvoir est évoquée ainsi que le caractère peu satisfaisant des simpli­fications nécessaires aux modèles, la critique de M. Perroux et la tentative de Laffont. L'absence de niveau intermédiaire d'analyse est longuement traitée (Borely, Hahn, Melvin, Nagishi). Dans la deuxième partie, l'auteur s'interroge sur les transformations apportées au traitement de l'espace, où l'effort a été limité, et du temps avec la distinction de Hicks entre équilibre temporaire et équilibre temporel. [eng] On the limits of the reformulations of the general economic equilibrium. . This paper deals with several temptatives in order to have the constraints of the GEE more permissive and to evaluate the relevance of some formai sophistications. They are three major points. The first one is about the independance of production and consumption and the problem of convexity (Kornai, Morishima, Hahn, Guesnerie). The second point is : is price for ever the only one information? (Drèze, Arrow, Debreu, Radnek). There appears the inequality of power wich remains a bottlenek despite the sharp criticism of Perroux and the tentatives of Laffont. The author pledges in favour of middle range economics (in between the pure formalism of the macroeconomia theory and the aggregate level of the national accounting system). The last part deals with the treatment of the space and the time in recent works, the destinction between temporary equilibrium and equilibrium over time.
