Definition of Embodied:
Embodied is an attribute of the way technological progress affects productivity. In Solow
(1956), any improvement in technology instantaneously affects the productivity
of all factors of production. In Solow (1960) however productivity
improvements were a property of only of new capital investment. In the second
case we say the technologies are embodied in the new equipment, but in the
first case they are disembodied.
