I have events that drop American IC by a combined 160 points over the space of a little more than a year, and in running the game with these events, I've never noticed anywhere near that much of a drop.

They drop maximum IC. Current IC stays at the same level, thus you haven't noticed any drop.
Maximum IC is the amount of IC you have if you have a full flow of resources to your industries. If you lack one or more of coal, steel or rubber, your actual IC will drop, but the maximum will still stay the same, even though you currently are producing less.
Then come the events; they seem to decrease your maximum IC. If your currently are producing less than this, then you won't notice it at first, but if you get access to more resources, you won't be able to increase your production as much as you formerly could.

Re: current vs max
Current IC changes more often usually, as its lowered by strategic bombing.
The thing is that its the only way to lower current IC. So, even if its higher than maximum IC, it won't lower itself. Thus, for example, after SU events moving industry to Siberia, industry in Kiev won't actually decrease, unless its strategically bombed.
Both are separate values stored in savefile. At the beginning of the game, they are equal. Maximum IC only changes when you upgrade IC in province, or due to events.
