Consider production possibilities of goods and services in China, Since 1980, the population of China has grown by over 40%, from just under 1.0 billion to more than
1.4 billion people. In addition, there has been massive investment in both human and physical capital. Given these changes, we can expect that China's production
possibilities frontier has shifted
and become
curved (bowed outward).
Answers A - D
A.outward; more
B.inward, more
C.inward; less
D.outward, less
Which of the following are made constant when applying the production possibilities curve theory?

b. Total exports and imports
c. Total number of factors of productions
d. International pricing
