What is multifactor productivity?

Multifactor productivity (MFP) is a measure of economic performance that compares the amount of output to the amount of combined inputs used to produce that output.

Combinations of inputs can include labor, capital, energy, materials, and purchased services.

Multifactor productivity is calculated by dividing real output by a combination of inputs.
