Abstract

This chapter investigates the shape of the production possibility frontier (PPF) of an economy where three primary factors, two of which are sector specific, two final goods, and one pure public intermediate good, exist and derives the conditions for a convex portion to appear in the PPF under the Cobb–Douglas type of production functions. The economy considered here includes the Ricardian type of economy treated by Manning and McMillan (1979) and Ricardo and Viner’s economy treated by Clarida and Findley (1992) and Tawada et al. (2020) as special cases in the present analysis.
