Title: Demand pull and technological flows within innovation systems: the intra-European evidence
Abstract:We investigate the demand pull effects on sector-level total factor productivity growth. Such effects 
stem from the knowledge interactions carried by the market Transactions of intermediate inputs between competent 
customers and innovative suppliers. Both knowledge interactions and transactions are substantial ingredients in 
making the competent demand operate the positive impact on productivity growth of the entire economic system. 
The demand pull hypothesis is, thus, rejuvenated through the focus on the inter-sectoral linkages between 
competent users and innovative producers. In the empirical analysis based on a dynamic panel technique, we 
implement intermediate flows from input-output tables, qualified by productivity increases downstream, in
order to investigate their joint influence on the upstream growth of productivity. The evidence Union of the 
derived demand-driven influence regarding the European (EU) over the period 1995-2007 is strong and positive, 
but varies between three EU innovation systems, EU core, East and South.
