Productivity
In economics,
productivity is the amount of output created (in terms of goods produced
or services rendered) per unit input used. For instance, labour
productivity is typically measured as output per worker or output per
labour-hour. With respect to land, the "yield" is equivalent to "land
productivity". Within Capitalism, productivity increases lead to higher
standards of living for the general popualtion. As Henry Hazlitt
explains in Economics in One Lesson, increasing production reduces
prices, and therefore goods become more widely available. Automobiles
for example, where hand made initially, and only available to the
wealthy. As productivity increased, and the price of automobiles fell,
they became widely available to the general population.

Measures of factor productivity
Some
economists write of "capital productivity" (output per unit of capital
goods employed), the inverse of the capital/output ratio. "Total factor
productivity," sometimes called multifactor productivity, also includes
both labor and capital goods in the denominator (weighted by their
incomes).
Unlike labor productivity, the calculation of both
capital productivity and total factor productivity is dependent on a
number of doubtful assumptions and is subject to the Cambridge critique.
Even measures of land and labor productivity should be used only when
conscious of the role of the heterogeneity of these inputs to the
production process.
