No. It either cannot be maintained for long or it is impossible because the production possibility curve (PPC) shows the available areas of operation to a firm or economy to operate within the frontier, due to a fixed and scarce amount of resources and technology. Therefore, it is impossible, because of fixed levels of technology and resources, for the firm or economy to operate outside the PPC.~MB
