Explanation of Solution

According to the growth accounting approach, the three sources of economic growth are productivity, increased capital inputs and increased labor inputs. These three are the sources which increase productivity of economy.

As productivity increased, it leads to growth in output, thereby leading to economic growth.

As capital input increased, it leads to increase in productivity, thereby increasing economic growth.

Due to increase in labor inputs, output increases, thereby economic growth is increased.

The growth account approach is derived from the production function, which measures the relatioship between output and the three inputs: capital, labor and productivity. If the three inputs are constant, output will be constant.
