Macroeconomic Explanations for Industrial 

Output Growth

Macroeconomic Team, Washington, 

DC, Sept. 11, 2012 3

• Exports grow faster than imports so more of industrial output 

satisfied domestic demand

• Compared to AEO2012, imports grow more slowly than 

exports. In the AEO2012, imports grow by 4.3 percent (2012 

to 2040), while exports grow by 5.7 percent. For the 

preliminary AEO2013, imports grow by 3.9 percent while 

exports grow by 5.5 percent. So compared to the AEO2012, 

this year more of the industrial output again satisfies 

domestic demand.

• More detailed inclusion of increased unconventional natural 

gas impacts on other industries, primarily concentrated in 

bulk chemicals, primary metals and metal based durables.
