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. (10 points)
