Total factor productivity: Measurement, Technology & Products

Total-factor productivity (TFP), also called multi-factor productivity, is usually measured as the ratio of aggregate output (e.g., GDP) to aggregate inputs. Under some simplifying assumptions about the production technology, growth in total factor productivity becomes the portion of growth in output not explained by growth in traditionally measured…
