Innovation and Productivity Growth

چکیده
“The puzzle confronting economists has been that the rate of growth of output that was being observed has been much larger than the rate of increase in the principal resources that were being measured. It is now clear that this puzzle is of our own making because we have been using measures of capital and labor which had been refined and narrowed in ways that excluded many of the improvements that have been made in the quality of these resources.” Theodore W. Schultz (1962).
