shift outward
A production possibilities frontier with a bowed outward shape indicates an increase in opportunity costs as more and more of one good is produced. Some resources are more specialized towards specific tasks.

it really good
Improvement of management efficiency.

shift outward
The production possibilities frontier (PPF) is a curve that shows how much output of good X a country can produce at the expense of the production of good Y. A country that has a comparitave advantage over good X should produce more of it at the expense of a reduction in production of good Y. (Going to add more to this question later... Mobeen Iqbal, Bahrain) 1. Yes, If the PPF shifts outward, it means there is more output 2. No, because when the PPF shifts outward, and there is greater output, the population always rises by a greater percentage thant the rise of the output. 3. Not necessarily, First, it depends on whether or not htte capacity to produce mroe output is realized. Then, it depends on the percentage rise in output relative to percentage rise in the population. 4. Not nessarily, First, it depends on whether or not the capacity to produce more output is realized. Then, it depends on the percentage rise in output relative to ther percentage rise in income I am not sure which it is?
An outward shift of the production possibilities curve
Let's briefly explore each one of these and see how they shift the curve. Probably what you hear about most in economics is how changes in technology affect the curve. For example, let's say the country discovers a new technology, such as a new computer system that improves productivity. Anything that improves the productivity of workers is good. This causes output to increase, so the production possibilities curve shifts outward, or to the right. On the other hand, let's say a major war causes destruction of capital equipment in the country. This would cause output to decrease, so in this case, the production possibilities curve shifts inward, or to the left.
economic growth, will shift the PPF outward, because the income will increase.
Education programs add to the nation's human capital and labor productivity. Improved education and technology can make an entire economy more productive by shifting the production possibilities frontier outward. Federal, state, and local government all provide educational opportunities to the poor. The Federal government funds programs from preschool to college. State and local programs aid students with learning disabilities. By adding to the human capital and labor productivity.
The biggest reasons for a shift in the Production Possibilities Curve is new technology. Basically, if things can be done more efficiently (that is, with less resources than before), the curve shifts outward. Another way is by finding more of the resources used in the curve.
