Additional case study: Government intervention
In Germany in 2009 there was considerable debate about the extent to which the
government should be intervening in the economy. For example, its citizens were worried
about the future of Opel, a German car brand that was part of the ailing General Motors.
Some wanted the government to make sure jobs were saved no matter what. Others,
however, were more hesitant and worried about becoming the government becoming too
interventionist. Traditionally since the Second World War the German government has
seen itself as a referee in market issues and has avoided trying to control parts of the

The opportunity cost of production is zero
O outside (to the right of) the production possibilities frontier.
O inside the production possibilities frontier.
O when all resources are used to produce only one of the two goods.
O on the production possibilities frontier.
fiproduction possibilities frontier has a 'bowed outward' shape only when:
O As the quantity of one good produced increases, the opportunity cost of
producing that good also increases.
O an economy is self-sufficient instead of interdependent and engaged in trade.
the more resources the economy uses to produce one good, the fewer resources
it has available to produce the other good.
O the rate of tradeoff between the two goods being produced is constant.
