the percentage of this increase accounted for by increases in the quantity
of labor and of capital and by increases in the quality of labor and of capital
and improvements in technology. In the 1995–2002 period, the
incorporation of information technology led to improvements in the
quality of capital and technology that greatly contributed to growth.
