This paper contributes to the scant empirical evidence on the speed, sources and direction of technical change for various sectors and production factors. Assuming cost-minimization behavior, a CES framework is used to derive a system of equations that is estimated by a GMM system estimator. The estimated factor-augmenting technology parameters show that in most sectors, technical change was labor-augmenting and labor-saving. Statistically significant effects of manufacturing and services R&amp;D were found on factor-augmenting technical change (with the highest R&amp;D elasticities found in the high-tech manufacturing and transport, storage and communication sectors). Whereas ‘in-house’ R&amp;D stimulates total factor productivity, R&amp;D spilled over to other sectors has a capital-augmenting effect accompanied by a higher use of labor. The results of this study provide a starting point for incorporating endogenous factor-augmenting technical change in impact assessment models aimed at broad policy analysis including economic growth, food security or climate change.</mods:abstract><mods:originInfo><mods:dateIssued encoding="iso8601">2017-05-06</mods:dateIssued></mods:originInfo><mods:originInfo><mods:publisher>Taylor &amp; Francis</mods:publisher></mods:originInfo><mods:genre>Article</mods:genre></mets:xmlData></mets:mdWrap></mets:dmdSec><mets:amdSec ID="TMD_eprint_14568"><mets:rightsMD ID="rights_eprint_14568_mods"><mets:mdWrap MDTYPE="MODS"><mets:xmlData><mods:useAndReproduction>
