Macroeconomics

‭Definition and Key Assumptions‬ ‭The‬ ‭Production‬‭Possibilities‬‭Curve‬‭(PPC)‬ ‭,‬‭also‬‭known‬‭as‬‭the‬‭Production‬‭Possibilities‬‭Frontier‬‭(PPF),‬‭is‬‭an‬ ‭economic‬ ‭model‬ ‭that‬ ‭shows‬ ‭all‬ ‭the‬ ‭possible‬ ‭combinations‬ ‭of‬ ‭two‬ ‭goods‬ ‭or‬ ‭services‬ ‭that‬ ‭can‬ ‭be‬ ‭produced‬ ‭if‬ ‭all‬ ‭of‬ ‭an‬ ‭economy’s‬ ‭resources‬ ‭are‬ ‭used‬ ‭effciently.‬‭In‬‭other‬‭words,‬‭it‬‭is‬‭a‬‭simple‬‭graphical‬ ‭representation‬ ‭of‬ ‭the‬ ‭maximum‬ ‭level‬ ‭of‬ ‭output‬ ‭or‬ ‭production‬ ‭that‬ ‭an‬ ‭economy‬ ‭can‬ ‭achieve‬ ‭given‬ ‭its‬ ‭current resources and technological level.‬ ‭Imagine‬ ‭an‬ ‭economy‬ ‭that‬ ‭has‬‭limited‬‭resources‬‭and‬‭technology‬‭to‬‭make‬‭things.‬‭The‬‭PPC‬‭helps‬‭us‬‭see‬ ‭the‬ ‭different‬ ‭combinations‬ ‭of‬ ‭goods‬ ‭it‬ ‭can‬ ‭produce.‬ ‭It's‬ ‭similar‬ ‭to‬ ‭planning‬ ‭how‬ ‭to‬ ‭spend‬ ‭time‬ ‭and‬ ‭money – choices have to be made, and the PPC helps visualize those choices.‬
