Any point on a country's production possibilities curve represents a combination of two goods that an economy will never be able to produce. can produce using all available resources and technology. can produce using some portion, but not all, of its resources and technology. may be able to produce in the future with more resources and/or technology.
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).
