I would like to thank the Center of Research on Markets, Employment and Simulation
(ERMES) of Pantheon-Assas University for allowing me the opportunity to undertake my
PhD since March 2010. In this regard, I owe a special debt to Professor Damien Gaumont,
Director of ERMES, for his important role as supervisor of my PhD dissertation and
with whom I had opportunity to work on many important research in economics. I also

theoretical model developed in this thesis and his advice in the mathematical structure.
I thank all the professors and researchers at the ERMES, particularly Professor Bertrand
Crettez for his useful advice and for allowing me the opportunity to work with him as

our useful discussion. I am grateful to professor Joël Blot, professor Bertrand Crettez,
professor Bertrand Wrigniolle and professor Julian Revalski (Université des Antilles et
de la Guyane(UAG)) for being members of dissertation committee. Thanks to professor
Revaski (my supervisor of dissertation in Master of mathematics), with whom I had the
opportunity to work for the first time on general equilibrium of Debreu in 2006 at the
University of French West Indies (UAG).
I also thank Professor Randall Wright of University of Wisconsin for his advice on OLG
version of this thesis and Mr. Louis Bê Duc of Banque de France for our discussion.

Résumé :
Cettethèseconstruitunmodèlethéoriquequirenouvellel’approchetraditionnelledel’équi-
libre du marché. En introduisant dans le paradigme néo-classique le principe de préférence
pour la quantité, il génère de façon optimale des stocks dans un marché concurrentiel. Les
résultats sont très importants, car ils expliquent à la fois l’émergence des invendus et l’exis-
tence de cycles économiques. En outre, il étudie le comportement optimal du monopole
dont la puissance de marché dépend non seulement de la quantité de biens étalés, mais
aussi de celle de biens achetés. Contrairement à l’hypothèse traditionnelle selon laquelle le
monopoleur choisit le prix ou la quantité qui maximise son profit, il attire, via un indice
de Lerner généralisé la demande à la fois par le prix et la quantité de biens exposés. Quelle
que soit la structure du marché, le phénomène d’accumulation des stocks de biens apparaît
dans l’économie. De plus, il a l’avantage d’expliquer explicitement les achats impulsifs non
encore traités par la théorie économique. Pour vérifier la robustesse des résultats du modèle
théorique, ils sont testés sur des données américaines. En raison de leur non-linéarité, la
méthode de Gauss-Newton est appropriée pour analyser l’impact de la préférence pour la
quantité sur la production et l’accumulation de biens, et par conséquent sur les prévisions
de PIB. Enfin, cette thèse construit un modèle à générations imbriquées à deux pays qui
étend l’équilibre dynamique à un gamma-équilibre dynamique sans friction. Sur la base de
la contrainte de détention préalable d’encaisse, il ressort les conditions de sur-accumulation
du capital et les conséquences de la mobilité du capital sur le bien-être dans un contexte
d’accumulation du stock d’invendus.

Abstract :
This thesis constructs a theoretical model that renews the traditional approach of the
market equilibrium. By introducing into the neoclassical paradigm the principle of pre-
ference for quantity, it optimally generates inventories within a competitive market. The
results are very important since they explain both the emergence of unsold goods and the
existence of economic cycles. In addition, it studies the optimal behavior of a monopolist
whose the market power depends not only on the quantity of displayed goods but also that
of goods that the main consumer is willing to buy. Contrary to the traditional assump-
tion that the monopolist chooses price or quantity that maximizes its profit, through a
generalized Lerner index (GLI) it attracts customers’ demand by both the price and the
quantity of displayed goods. Whatever the market structure, the phenomenon of inventory
accumulation appears in the economy. Furthermore, it has the advantage of explicitly ex-
plaining impulse purchases untreated by economics. To check the robustness of the results,
the theoretical model is fitted to U.S. data. Due to its nonlinearity, the Gauss-Newton
method is appropriate to highlight the impact of consumers’ preference for quantity on
production and accumulation of goods and consequently GDP forecast. Finally, this the-
sis builds a two-country overlapping generations (OLG) model which extends the dynamic
OLG equilibrium to a frictionless dynamic OLG gamma-equilibrium. Based on the cash-in-
advance constraint, it highlights the conditions of over-accumulation of capital and welfare
implications of capital mobility in a context of accumulation of stock of unsold goods.
