Abstract

[spa] Los efectos en Francia de las variaciones del dólar : certidumbre e incertidumbre - . Una baja del dólar ralentiza la inflación en Francia. Es expansiva a corto plazo, mas recesiva a medio plazo. Si el sentido de estos efectos es poco mes o menos seguro, su magnitud es muy insegura. Depende de una multitud de factores. Asi pues, el efecto expansivo de corto plazo esta Intimamente vinculado con la importancia de la factura petrolera ; esté aminorado si las monedas vinculadas, por lo general, con el dólar le siguen en su baja. Asimismo, la ralentizacion de la inflacion es dos veces mayor si el precio en dólares del petróleo y de las demás materias primas permanece firme que si se ajusta al alza. . Francia y Europa podrian encontrarse en 1986 y 1987 en una coyuntura excepcionalmente favorable. Los efectos expansivos a corto plazo de la baja del dólar desde febrero de 1 985 sa acumularon con los efectos a medio plazo, expansivos ellos tambien, del alza del dólar en el transcurso de los años pasados. [eng] The effects of dollar fluctuations in France : certainties and uncertainties - In France, a drop in the dollar slows inflation. Short term, it tends towards expansion, longer term towards recession. If the direction of these effects is relatively certain, their extent is very uncertain. It depends on a multiplicity of factors. Thus, the expansive short term effect is very much linked to the size of the oil bill and is weakened if currencies generally attached to the dollar follow its drop. Similarly, the slowing of inflation is twice as great if the price of oil and other raw materials in dollars remains fixed than if it is adjusted to a rise. . In 1986 and 1987, France and Europe could find themselves in an exceptionally advantageous economic situation. The expansive short term effects of the drop in the dollar since February 1 985 will be added to the expansive longer term effects of the rise of the dollar in the course of the preceding years. [fre] Une baisse du dollar ralentit l'inflation en France. Elle est expansive à court terme, mais récessive à moyen terme. Si le sens de ces effets est à peu près assuré, leur ampleur est très incertaine. Elle dépend d'un multitude de facteurs. Ainsi, l'effet expansif de court terme est très lié à l'importance de la facture pétrolière; il est affaibli si les monnaies généralement accrochées au dollar le suivent dans sa baisse. De même, le ralentissement de l'inflation est deux fois plus fort si le prix en dollars du pétrole et des autres matières premières reste fixe que s'il s'ajuste à la hausse. . La France et l'Europe pourraient se trouver, en 1986 et en 1987, dans une conjoncture exceptionnellement favorable. Les effets expansifs à court terme de la baisse du dollar depuis février 1985 se cumuleront avec les effets à moyen terme, expansifs eux aussi, de la hausse du dollar au cours des années précédentes.
