Ratio of the amount of goods and services produced (output) per unit of productive resources used (input).

Productivity

Personal and national standards of living are directly related to labor productivity. • The greater an individual’s labor

productivity, the higher wage that individual can command.

• People must produce more per person if they are to receive more per person.

Individual workers can increase productivity by investing in education and training (human capital).

• What happened to quality between Round 2 and Round 3?

• What effect did investing in capital goods (the pizza-cutting machine) have on productivity?

Factors That Increased Productivity

• Specialization/division of labor– Assigning small, repeatable tasks at which

workers gain expertise, as in Round 2– Results in more output per unit of labor

• Increase in human capital– Acquired through education/training,

displayed in all three rounds

• Investment in capital goods– Tools/machines/factories as in Round 3

• Technology
