Question 41

An economy is initially operating at point A, producing inside its first production possibility frontier (PPF1PPF_1PPF1​). Over the next year, the economy moves its production to point B on PPF1PPF_1PPF1​. During the same period, the productive frontier shifts outwards to PPF2PPF_2PPF2​.

Production Possibility Frontier

Which of the following correctly identifies the type of economic growth represented by the movement from A to B and the shift from PPF1 PPF_1\,PPF1​ to PPF2PPF_2PPF2​?

Movement from A to B represents potential economic growth; shift from PPF1PPF_1PPF1​ to PPF2PPF_2PPF2​ represents actual economic growth.

Movement from A to B represents actual economic growth; shift from PPF1PPF_1PPF1​ to PPF2PPF_2PPF2​ represents potential economic growth.

Movement from A to B represents actual economic growth; shift from PPF1PPF_1PPF1​ to PPF2PPF_2PPF2​ represents a reduction in the negative output gap.

Movement from A to B represents potential economic growth; shift from PPF1PPF_1PPF1​ to PPF2PPF_2PPF2​ represents a short-run aggregate supply shift.
