Inefficiency inside the PPF curve means that resources are not being fully utilized in the economy. This could be due to factors such as unemployment or underutilization of technology, resulting in less than optimal production levels. Inefficiency inside the PPF curve indicates that it is possible to produce more of one good without sacrificing the production of another.
Production efficiency refers to the optimal use of resources to produce goods and services, represented by a point on the Production Possibility Frontier (PPF). The PPF illustrates the maximum possible output combinations of two goods that can be produced with available resources and technology. Points on the curve indicate efficient production, where resources are fully utilized, while points inside the curve indicate inefficiency, and points outside are unattainable given current resources. Thus, production efficiency is achieved when the economy operates along the PPF.
Operating at an inefficient point, i.e. inside the PPF and not on the edge or line of the PPF
The elimination of inefficiency does not shift the production possibility frontier (PPF) outward; rather, it allows an economy to operate on the PPF itself rather than inside it. The PPF represents the maximum potential output of two goods given available resources and technology. By improving efficiency, an economy can produce more of one or both goods without increasing resources, but the PPF remains unchanged. An outward shift of the PPF occurs only with an increase in resources or technological advancements.
The line on a production possibilities curve (PPC) that shows the amounts of goods produced is known as the production possibilities frontier (PPF). This curve illustrates the maximum feasible output combinations of two goods that can be produced with available resources and technology. Points on the curve indicate efficient production levels, while points inside the curve represent inefficiency, and points outside the curve are unattainable with current resources.
The Production Possibility Frontier (PPF) illustrates several key economic concepts, including opportunity cost, efficiency, and trade-offs. It shows the maximum possible production levels of two goods, highlighting how resources must be allocated between them. Points on the curve represent efficient production, while points inside indicate inefficiency, and points outside are unattainable with current resources. The slope of the PPF reflects the opportunity cost of shifting resources from one good to another.
You must mean PPF? PPF: Production Possibilities Frontier.
The PPF graph is a bowed out curve. The x-axis being quantity produced of one product/service and the y-axis being another quantity produced of a product/service. Any point on the curve is productive efficiency. Outside of the curve is unattainable and inside of the curve is inefficient.

A production possibilities frontier (PPF) illustrates the maximum possible output combinations of two goods or services that an economy can produce given its resources and technology. It demonstrates the trade-offs between the two goods, highlighting opportunity costs and the concept of efficiency in production. Points on the frontier indicate efficient production levels, while points inside the curve reflect inefficiency, and points outside are unattainable with current resources. The shape of the PPF can also indicate the nature of opportunity costs, which may vary depending on the resources used.
An economy can be producing on the PPF curve only in theory. In reality, economies constantly struggle to reach an optimal production capacity.
When there are diminishing marginal returns to factors of production, the PPF is "bowed out" from the origin.
The production possibility curve is not always linear, in fact, it is usually concave down (bowed-in). The shape of the curve depends on the substutability of the goods described by the curve in the question. When goods are perfectly substitutable in production, the PPP (or PPF) is linear.
