Question
Chapter 33, Problem 1QP
To determine
The position of world’s
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Most probably, the world’s position in the production possibility frontier is below the frontier. This is because there is a decrease in world’s production and consumption due to the trade restrictive measures adopted by the nations, such as quota and tariff. The nations produce and consume more if there are no restrictions. This is because they would not get any benefit with trade restrictive measures.
Economics Concept Introduction
Production possibilities frontier: PPF refers to the different combinations of goods and services that can be produced efficiently with the given resources by a firm.

Draw a Production Possibilities Frontier curve for an economy that produces milk and cookies. What happens to the frontier if a disease kills half of the economy’s cows by illustrating a second PPF curve after the disease
Draw a PPF that represents the production possibilities for goods X and Y if there are constant opportunity costs. Next, represent an advance in technology that makes it possible to produce more of X but not more of Y. Finally, represent an advance in technology that makes it possible to produce more of Y but not more of X.
Production possibilities. If the supply of capital falls by10 percent and the supply of labor increases by 10 percent, how will the PPF for wheat and cloth change?

Neither the value of the x-intercept nor the y-intercept would change The value of the y-intercept would increase but the value of the x-intercept would not change The value of the x-intercept would increase but the value of the y-intercept would not change Both the value of the x-intercept and the y-intercept would increase The value of the y-intercept would decrease but the value of the x-intercept would not change The value of the x-intercept would decrease but the value of the y-intercept would not changearrow_forward
