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.
