Abstract

[eng] The influence of economic analysis on public policy : rise or decline ? . . This article describes the French experience concerning the influence of economic analysis on public policy decisions. Whereas economic analysis plays a well established role for the preparation of macroeconomic policy, its influence remains too limited in the domain of structural policies. The on-going European integration is creating a new institutional context which promotes a more systematic use of economic analysis for the making of public policy. [fre] Progression ou régression de l'utilisation des méthodes économiques dans la prise de décision publique ?. . Deux principaux domaines d'application sont distingués : macro-économie et politiques structurelles. L'utilisation des méthodes de l'économie a atteint un certain équilibre en macro-économie. Par contre, elle reste, en France, insuffisante pour la préparation des politiques structurelles alors même que l'intérêt pour celles-ci est croissant.. L'offre d'analyse économique extérieure à l'administration et aux groupes de pression traditionnels s'est développée, rendant plus perméable à l'analyse économique la préparation des décisions publiques. Cette évolution est nécessaire, compte tenu de l'intégration économique européenne. Celle-ci, en effet, favorisera une utilisation plus systématique de l'analyse économique, dans des conditions plus proches du modèle américain que du modèle français traditionnel.
