danubian | Why capital deepening as well? The formula is : growth in TFP/1 - alpha |
akirchner1 | Workers (labor) use things like machines and computers (capital) etc to be productive. The worker can get more output done than if they didn't have those. But a worker can only use so many machines and computers to complete a job. To complete the job more efficient or faster, technology improvements need to be made to the machine or computer to increase the workers output. |
davidt87 | alpha is capital's share of output. so an increase in alpha will make the numerator smaller and therefore the output per worker greate |
