Wisconsin’s GDP development slowed in Q2-Q3 2022, lagging the nationwide deceleration.
Determine 1: US GDP (blue), GDPNow for 2023Q1 (mild blue sq.), Wisconsin GDP (pink), and Wisconsin financial outlook forecast (pink squares), all in logs, 2021Q4=0. Supply: BEA, Atlanta Fed (3/31), Dept of Income and creator’s calculations.
The nowcast for first-quarter US development is 2.9% (q/q annualized). Wisconsin GDP development share level for share level with US GDP (adj-R2 = 0.90), so this means continued Wisconsin GDP development within the first quarter.

Determine 2: Wisconsin Merchandise Exports, mn.$2000, sa (blue). Nominal seasonally adjusted utilizing the X13 census, deflated utilizing the export value index of all commodities. The NBER has outlined peak-to-trough recession dates as shaded. Supply: Census, BLS by way of FRED (EXPTOTWI and IQ sequence), NBER and creator’s calculations.
The decline in items exports in 2022Q2 was about 0.7 share factors of Wisconsin’s GDP (actual US exports elevated between 2022Q2-Q3). If the multiplier is about 1.6, that is about 1.1 share level discount in GDP. This estimate assumes that the entire good worth added exported comes from Wisconsin, which is unlikely to be the case. Mixed with the truth that worth added in manufacturing (a typical indicator of tradable items), this implies that a part of Wisconsin’s lagging efficiency is tied to exports.
