Nomenclatures industrielles en Grèce. Variations du champ du secteur secondaire et limites de comparabilité
Abstract
Vincent Gouzi bend over industrial classifications in Greece, and, through their history and their structure, over the variations of the field of the secondary sector and the limits of comparability.The industrial classifications profoundly evolved in Greece as in France since the middle of the 19th century, profoundly influenced by the international institutions. The boosters of this evolution are the innovation, the conceptions of the industrial organization and the needs for comparability.This paper aims first at reminding the economic theory of the classification of activities (in particular their evolutionary structure between the three economic sectors) as well as the history of the industrial classifications. Secondly, it endeavours to define a Mediterranean specificity through the constituent items of different classifications, the analysis of the input‑output tables of the national accountings of the five countries and of their industrial productions.
