Best Answer

A PPF will shift out if we have improvements/increases in resources and/or technology.

You would see an unbiased increase (the slop of the PPF stays the same) when R+T increase in the production of both goods.

You would see a biased increase (the PPF pivots around one pt) when R+T increases in the production of only one of the goods.
