  • Productivity
    Level of output achieved with a given amount of resources, differing among individuals, firms, or countries.
  • Production Possibility Schedule
    Table or graph showing maximum combinations of two goods that can be produced with fixed resources and technology.
  • Linear Production Possibility Schedule
    Production possibility schedule where trade-offs between goods are constant, simplifying calculations and analysis.
  • Fixed Technology
    Assumption that methods and tools for production remain unchanged during analysis.
  • Fixed Resources
    Assumption that the quantity and quality of inputs used in production are constant.
  • Specialization
    Focusing production on goods for which an individual or entity is most efficient, increasing overall output.
  • Absolute Advantage
    Ability to produce more of a good using the same amount of resources compared to another producer.
  • Comparative Advantage
    Ability to produce a good at a lower opportunity cost than another producer, guiding efficient trade.
  • Opportunity Cost
    Amount of one good that must be given up to produce an additional unit of another good.
  • Trade
    Exchange of goods or services between parties, allowing each to benefit from specialization and comparative advantage.
  • Maximum Output
    Highest quantity of a good that can be produced when all resources are devoted to its production.
  • Division Formula
    Calculation method for opportunity cost, dividing maximum output of one good by maximum output of another.
  • Production Possibility Curve
    Graphical representation of all possible combinations of two goods that can be produced with fixed resources.
  • Trade-Off
    Sacrifice of one good in order to produce more of another, illustrated by movement along the production possibility curve.
  • Efficiency
    Achieving the highest possible output from available resources, often through specialization and trade.
