Which of the following is true regarding this economic
model?
In order to construct such a model, an economist would need real
life data regarding countries that only produce two goods.
The fact that there are only two goods produced in this
theoretical economy, when, in reality, economies produce many more
types of goods, means this model...

1. Consider an economy that tries to achieve higher economic
growth over time by encouraging production activities without
paying any attention to the environmental quality. Assume that the
resources and technology used in the economy stay the same. Show,
using a well labeled diagram with appropriate production
possibility frontier/s and indifference curve/s, how the economy
might move over time.
2.Why is sustainability not likely to be attainable if an

Instructions
Students have to create two hypothetical economies with their
respective Production Possibilities Frontier (PPF).
Parameters:
One country should be a bigger economy in both industries.
Assume constant opportunity costs along each country’s PPF.
Thus, there are 5 tasks to complete this assignment:
1. Create a PPF for each hypothetical economy using 5 output
combinations for each PPF
2. Graph the PPFs for the two hypothetical economies from a
Production Possibilities Frontier schedule
3. Calculate the opportunity costs of producing...

Before the Covid crisis, economists considered that the US
economy was at “full employment.” Assuming that the crisis did not
affect the US economy’s total capacity to produce, the current
situation would be best represented by: A) the PPF shifting inward
(closer to the origin) B) the PPF shifting outward (further from
the origin) C) a point on the PPF located on the opposite side of
the pre-Covid point D) a point outside the PPF E) a point inside
the...

Suppose in the country of Wetland there are production
inefficiencies. This: A. can both be illustrated by some point
outside the production possibilities curve. B. can exist at some
point on a production possibilities curve. C. causes the production
possibilities curve to shift outward. D. can both be illustrated by
some point on the inside the production possibilities curve. E. All
of the other answers are incorrect.
