Abstract: [fre] Inflation, répartition et chômage dans la France contemporaine. . On soutient généralement que les prix sont déterminés par les coûts ; de fait, dans l'économie française contemporaine, les variations des prix manifestent une liaison étroite avec celles des coûts salariaux unitaires ; mais ceci ne permet pas d'affirmer l'existence d'une relation causale.. De leur côté, les coûts salariaux varient en relation avec le taux de chômage, ce qui incite à analyser la nature du lien unissant le taux de hausse des prix et le taux de chômage. Si, enfin, le taux de hausse des prix et le taux d'élévation des coûts salariaux dépendent tous deux du taux de chômage, il doit exister une valeur critique de ce taux pour laquelle la répartition fonctionnelle salaires-profits est stable ; lorsque ce taux n'est pas atteint, la répartition se modifie. [eng] Inflation, distribution and unemployment in today's France. . It is widely assumed that prices are determined by costs; in fact, in contemporary French economy, the variations of prices are closely linked with those of uniuary labor costs, but this in itself does not prove the existence of a causal relationship. As for the labor costs, their variations are related to the rate of unemployment, which makes it interesting to analyze the link between the rate of inflation and the rate of unemployment. Finally, if the rate of inflation and the rate of increase of labor costs both depend upon the unemployment rate, there must exist a critical value of the latter for which the functional distribution of wages and profits is stable; when this value is not reached, the distribution changes.
