Exact excerpt
The findings do not imply that higher oil prices are unambiguously beneficial for every U.S. household or firm. They continue to raise production costs and reduce the purchasing power for energy users. Rather, the shale revolution has changed the balance of aggregate gains and losses sufficiently that an adverse global oil supply shock need no longer generate a U.S. recession.
