Suppose two countries have production possibilities curves shown in the figure below. Interpret the points in that diagram.
Suppose that country 1 chooses point B and country 2 chooses point D. How do you think the production possibilities curves of these two countries will differ 50 years from now?
In the figure above, compare points F, G, and D. What is the opportunity cost of moving from C to D? What are some ways in which the economy can move out of the inefficient area inside the production possibilities curve?
