More of one good can be produced without reducing the amount of the other good. This can be done through the following factors:

i. Increase in productivity: If the productivity of the workers rise, then with the same resources, the PPC (production possibility curve) of an economy can be shifted outwards. Rise in productivity implies that the same amount of workers can now produce more. That is the output per worker rises. This way, more of one good can be produced without reducing the amount of the other good.

ii. Improvement in technology: Improvement in technology is usually cost saving and efficient. This implies more output with the same level of inputs. This will also shift the PPC outwards.

iii. Increase in the stock of resources of the economy. If resources of the economy will increase, it can increase its production. This will also shift the PPC outwards and will lead to more production of one good without reducing the amount of other good.

Suppose we can divide all the goods produced by an economy into two types : consumption goods and consumer goods. Capital goods such as machinery, equipment, and computers, are goods used to produce other goods. Use a production possibilities frontier graph to illustrate the trade-off an economy between producing consumption goods and producing capital goods. Is it likely that the production possibilities frontier in this situation would be a straight line or a bowed out? Briefly explain. Suppose technological...
