Production Possibility Frontier

created by DMan

Economic term, it defines the greatest possible amount of production an economy can churn out at at maximum efficiency. In textbooks it is usually depicted using an economy with only 2 products, however, in reality, the visualization has many dimensions, since no economy produces only 2 goods.

The PPF can be expanded by capital investment, advances in technology, or an increase in the workforce. Inefficiency does not reduce the PPF, it merely places it at a point below the frontier.
