Consider that the macroeconomy is hit by aftershocks. Exports decrease by $40 billion and imports increase by $200 billion. Modify your macroeconomic model to reflect both these aftershocks
1. At GDP of 7400: 1. Inventories are in surplus by 80 2. Inventories are in shortage by 80 3. Equilibrium is achieved by the macroeconomy according to the Keynesians 4. Inventories are in surplus by 240
2. At GDP of 8200: Inventories are in surplus by 320, Inventories are in shortage by 320, Equilibrium is achieved by the macroeconomy according to the Keynesians, or Inventories are both in surplus and shortage by 240
3. At GDP of 5000: Inventories are in surplus by 80, Inventories are in shortage by 80, Equilibrium is achieved by the macroeconomy according to the Keynesians, or Inventories are in surplus by 240
