  40. Concluding Comments • U.S. trade • Trade/GDP • Trade Prices – rapid in 70s, relatively slow in 80s and 90s, faster than GDP deflator recently • Exports of non-agricultural goods have increased as fast as exports of services • Real manufacturing output/GDP constant • Geographic pattern of trade shifting to developing counties • China increasingly important – problem? • Implications for U.S. monetary policy • International sector increasingly important for U.S. economic activity • Models based on foreign output gaps of dubious value • Negligible exchange-rate pass-through for U.S.
