Exact excerpt
The reason is that a rise in oil prices now boosts rather than depresses U.S. economic activity as the country has moved from a petroleum importer to a net exporter. An oil supply shock now generates domestic income and wealth gains that support industrial production and household spending. ... 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.
