This differential was associated, in the first instance, with monetary restraint exercised by the Federal Reserve and subsequently with an expansionary U.S. fiscal policy. The decline of the dollar in 1985 and a narrowing in the long-term real interest rate differential accompanied a slowing of U.S. economic activity and the expected easing of domestic credit demands in the face of continued large federal budget deficits.

In addition to the direct competitive effects of exchange rates, several potential factors may have been responsible for the deeper import penetration in 1983 and 1984. First, some evidence suggests that imports are unusually responsive to increases in demand, such as were occurring at the time as part of the recovery from the 1982 recession. Second, the inability of U.S. import-competing industries to respond promptly to changes in demand may have limited the domestic production of importable goods.

Import penetration Import Penetration The recent trends in the growth of non-oil imports into the United States are more fully illuminated by examination of the sectoral pattern of import-penetration ratios over the last five years (table 2). The ratio of capital goods imports to total U.S. expenditures for producers' durable equipment (the import-penetration ratio for that sector) increased markedly over the period, especially in the latter half of 1983 and in the first part of 1984. A similar pattern is evident in the ratio of consumer goods imports to total personal consumption expenditures: it increased 3 percentage points from the first quarter of 1983 to the fourth quarter of 1984. Changes in both of these measures of the significance of imports can be viewed in relation to the proximate determinants of imports— namely, the rate of real growth in domestic demand and the real exchange rate (table 2, 1.
