Growth accounting

Growth accounting is like a math equation that helps us understand how an economy is growing. It helps us measure how much of the growth in an economy is due to people working harder (by producing more goods and services), and how much of it is due to advances in technology (like new machines, computers, and gadgets that help us do things faster or better). By looking at the equation, we can learn how to make the economy grow faster and better.
