La première [façon dont les taux de change modifient la productivité] est l'hypothèse du taux de change refuge, aussi connue sous le nom d'«hypothèse du manufacturier paresseux». Selon cette théorie, un taux de change bas accroît la compétitivité internationale relative aux entreprises, les rendant plus rentables mais réduisant les raisons d'investir pour accroître la productivité. 1, record 1, French, - hypoth%C3%A8se%20du%20taux%20de%20change%20refuge
