Abstract: Using the normalized supply-side system method, this paper estimates the capital-labor elasticity of substitution, the average rate of technology progress between capital and labor and the biased index of technical progress in China’s manufacturing industry and sub-sectors industries in the period of 1980-2011. The results showed that the year of 1996 is the turning point in the evolution of technological progress in China’s manufacturing industry; From the perspective of sub-sectors, capital and labor are all complementary in the labor intensive, capital intensive and technology intensive industries, but the degree are different. As capital and labor complementarity is the strongest in technology intensive industries, they are the main power of development mode transformation and industrial structure upgrading of the manufacturing industry.

摘要： 论文采用标准化供给面系统法，对1980-2011年期间我国制造业及其细分行业的资本-劳动替代弹性、资本和劳动技术进步速率以及技术进步偏向指数进行了测算，结果表明：从技术进步演进特征看，1996年是我国制造业技术进步方式发生根本变化的转折点；从不同行业看，劳动密集型、资本密集型和技术密集型行业的资本和劳动都具有互补关系，但在程度上已表现出各自的差异性。其中,技术密集型行业的资本和劳动互补性最强，是制造业发展方式转变和产业结构升级的中坚力量。
