Abstract
The use of energy cost as an indicator of natural resource quality is examined. Energy cost is the direct and indirect
energy used to produce a unit of a resource commodity. Different approaches to the role of energy in the economy
are discussed and it is demonstrated theoretically that energy cost can give false indications of changes in resource
quality. This is because energy cost is only an accurate indicator of resource quality if either energy is the single
primary factor of production and the economy can be represented by an input±output model, or if there is
substitutability between the factors of production, then marginal products must be proportional to the factors
embodied energy. These conditions are tested empirically using data from the US agricultural sector. The results show
that there is substitutability and marginal products are not proportional to embodied energy. However, the strong
neoclassical assumption of price-taking pro®t-maximization can be rejected at a 5% level of signi®cance, though not
at the 3.5% level. The generality of the empirical results may be restricted due to data limitations but the theoretical
framework can be applied to other data sets, other resources, and even other indi
