Answer to Question 1

A nation must increase its production possibilities in order to experience economic growth. Ingredients for economic growth include capital accumulation, investment in the labor force to increase productivity, investment in technology, and promoting the entrepreneurial spirit. Economic growth is a major national economic goal of all nations because it increases the average absolute standard of living for the nation.

Answer to Question 2

The production possibilities curve will bow out from the origin. A point on the curve represents efficiency. A point inside represents inefficiency. A point outside the curve is currently unattainable (it is a combination of production we cannot currently produce given our limited resources and technology; although that point may be attainable if we acquire more resources, technology, or generally increase our production possibilities). A rightward shift in the curve represents an increase in production possibilities. Because economic growth means an increase in a nation's production possibilities over time, then it is expressed as a rightward shift of the production possibilities curve.
