| Abstract | The Hong Kong manufacturing sector comprises approximately onethird of aggregat e Hong Kong energy consumption if measured by purchased Terajoules, and approximately 40 percent i f measured by the Terajoules content of fuel used for electric power generation. This sector is universally identified as a potential source of reductions in energy demand. Large number of econometric studies of the possibilities of energy reductions in this sector for other countries have appeared since 1975, but with only f ew concerning a developing economy, and none about Hong Kong. The purpose of the present work is to examine the substitutability amongs four aggregate production i nput factors of t he Hong Kong manufacturing : capital K, labour L, energy E, and materials M, by employing aggregate cost function specifications. |
