Economics: PPF Visualiser (Production Possibility Frontier Visualiser)

What students do: Explore a linear vs concave PPF, drag a point or use sliders to change outputs (“Guns/Butter” and “Consumer/Capital Goods”), and see real-time classification of points as efficient, inefficient, or unattainable with an on-screen opportunity cost read-out; a tabbed Explanation pane reinforces the underlying theory.

Distinguish linear (constant OC) and curved PPFs (increasing OC); define productive efficiency and feasibility.

Apply the model to mixes of consumer vs capital goods and classic guns vs butter contexts.

Interpret how moving along the frontier changes opportunity cost and why specialization makes the curve concave.

Judge whether a chosen point is desirable given trade-offs and resource use; compare linear vs curved frontiers for different economies.
