The numbers are the average annual growth rates of GDP per capita (y), physical capital per capital (k), and labor hours (n) in the United States for various time periods. 1948-2010 1948-73 1973-95 1995-2000 3.3 1.5 2.9 y 2.6 2000-2010 2.7 k 1.0 1.0 0.7 1.2 1.2 n 0.2 0.2 0.2 0.2 0.3 13. Productivity growth was slowest between 1995 and 2000 (assuming a = 1/3). 14. Productivity growth was fastest in the 2000's (assuming = 1/3). 15.
