【摘要】 旨在对法国价格指数的构建演变进行社会经济学分析。在整个20世纪和21世纪的前十几年中,这个指标的演变引发了很多公开或非公开的争议;针对这些争议的分析表明,虽然价格指数演变的各个时间阶段的背景不同,但是这个指标的测度和使用中有许多冲突,也可以说面临各种挑战,而这些冲突和挑战始终与经济分配和财富表征联系在一起。同时,争议所涉及的各个主体,包括国家、政府、工会、经济学家、统计学家等,及其遵循的原则都发生了变化,最具代表性的就是政府部门、统计机构和工会之间的各种社会关系所代表的政治因素,逐渐让位于科学的思维方式,这意味着近期的争论本质上是更具技术性的。随着更多的专家在这个问题上发挥更大的作用,关于价格指数的争议也与从前完全不同。研究还表明,这些争议存在于越来越复杂的现实世界中,尽管现有的指数工具已经非常精巧,然而还是无法很好地表征现实的复杂性。更多还原

【Abstract】 This article presents a socio-economic analysis of the evolution of construction of inflation in France. Analysis of the various open or more muted controversies that underlie the history of the index throughout the twentieth century and into the first decades of the twenty-first century shows that the various challenges to the index have always been and continue to be linked, albeit to varying extents, to issues around economic distribution and representations of wealth. However, the actors engaged in these controversies and the principles around which they are organized have changed: politics, which brought into play the various social relations between government, statistical agencies and trade unions, has gradually given way to more scientific considerations, which has meant that the more recent controversies have been more technical in nature. And by giving experts a greater role to play, these controversies have also tended to play out at an even greater distance from the traditional actors.It is also shown that these controversies are embedded in a real world which, because of its increasing complexity and singularity and its(justifiable) concern with quality, is not fully captured by the available tools, despite their sophistication.更多还原
