Best Answer

The elements of productivity include: * Physical capital:human made resources such as tools, buildings, machines * Human capital:labour force that possesses skills, education, training * Technology:the technical means for the production of goods and services. It is the most important driver of productivity according to some economists. It involves not only major inventions but thousands of small innovations. Productivity may be increased by increasing the physical capital, human capital or technology. Note that there is a term called Diminishing Returns to Physical Capital- which means successive increases in physical capital lead to smaller increases in productivity.
