TECHNOLOGICAL PROGRESS: An improvement in the ability to use the factors in the production of goods and services.

In contrast to factor accumulation, technological progress is an increase not in the quantity of the factor of production, but in the ability to transform the existing ones into output. That is, the ability to produce more output with given inputs or fewer inputs for a given output.
