Answer to Question 1

The production function shows the maximum amounts of real GDP that can be produced as the quantity of labor changes, holding constant all other influences on production. As the quantity of labor increases, real GDP increases but at a decreasing rate, that is, the production function shows diminishing returns. The production function stands between the labor market and potential GDP. In particular, the quantity of employment is determined in the labor market. The production function then shows the amount of real GDP that is produced by this quantity of employment. When the quantity of employment determined in the labor market is the equilibrium quantity, then the amount of real GDP produced is potential GDP.
