This paper examines the role of inventories in accounting for the time lag between an oil price shock and the slow down in U.S. aggregate economic activity. We find that, unlike aggregate GDP, the response of manufacturing sales is immediate and statistically significant. Sluggishness in the response of aggregate output can be accounted by the buffering role of inventories as well as by some misperception of the industries with respect to the role of oil prices in their information set, when deciding on the level of inventories and production
