Abstract
The role of natural resource inputs in Canadian manufacturing is investigated for the 1961–1976 period with a five factor value-added translog model.

For capital, labour and energy, the elasticities are comparable with those reported elsewhere. For natural resource inputs, the price elasticities are low and the possibilities of substitution limited,
