We estimate an aggregate production function with constant elasticity of substitution between energy and a capital …/labor composite using U.S. data. The implied measure of energy-saving technical change appears to respond strongly to the oil … suggestive of a model of directed technical change, with low short-run substitutability between energy and capital/labor but …
