What two explanations of productivity growth does endogenous growth theory offer? A. population growth and increased saving B. population growth and technological innovation C. increased saving and technological innovation D. accumulation of human capital and technological innovation

Answer: D. Accumulation of human capital and technological innovation.

Explanation:

Endogenous growth theory is the belief that to achieve economic growth, there must be an incorporation of technological innovation, human capital, and knowledge or education. These factors are endogenous or internal.

Human capital encompasses all unseen qualities of people such as knowledge and skills that can be harnessed during labor to further economic growth.

The theory also stresses that investment into these internal factors would yield long-run or continuous returns. For example, new advances in technology would lead to new opportunities for economic growth.
