Hurricane Katrina resulted in a decline in oil production infrastructure along the gulf coast.As a result there was an unexpected decline in oil and natural gas supplies in 2005.Suppose that this caused an increase in the price level and a decline in real GDP in 2006.Also assume that potential real GDP continued to grow due to other factors.You can assume the aggregate demand curve did not change.Show the macroeconomic equilibrium for 2005 and 2006 using the dynamic aggregate supply and aggregate demand model.

Article Summary While sticking with a new strategy of letting market forces determine prices while producing more to keep customers,OPEC has stated that oil prices will not be increasing for the remainder of 2015 due to increased supplies and falling demand in China.OPEC members had initially thought that crude oil prices would rise to $70 - $80 a barrel by the end of 2015,but have revised their forecast down to a price of $40 - $50 a barrel.Despite the drop in price,OPEC has decided to stick with its new production strategy so new supplies from non-OPEC countries would not cut into OPEC's share of the market,even though the low prices are not bringing in enough revenue for the member countries to balance their budgets.In a September 2015 report,the U.S.Energy Information Administration reported that global oil output would exceed projected consumption by more than 2 million barrels a day in 2015. -Refer to the Article Summary.The unexpected increase in the supply of oil mentioned in the article summary resulted in a decrease in the price of oil.After an unexpected decrease in the price of oil,the long-run adjustment ________ the price level and ________ the unemployment rate as they return to their original levels.
