* This table estimates the effects of ending currency manipulation over three years, modeled as having started in 2011.
** The IMPLAN model used to calculate real-world effects of an estimated $190.5 billion (low impact) to $399.5 billion (high impact) increase in net exports adjusts for the fact that GDP growth from direct stimulus to net exports would boost consumer spending on imports, slightly offsetting the growth in exports. (See methodological appendix for further details on the IMPLAN model.)
*** State shares are constant across industries in both scenarios, but they differ from national shares due to differences in the industrial structures of Ohio and the United States (see text for further details).
**** Totals may vary slightly due to rounding.
