Abstract:
|
In this paper we examine the influence of economic factors to explain partisan support for European integration
over the last three decades. We find that partisan support is larger in `poorer' countries with direct economic
bene fits from EU membership. On the contrary, parties in countries aff ected by the Maastricht criteria are
more Euro-sceptical. Moreover, we find weak evidence for larger partisan support in countries with more
developed welfare states, and that the support for European integration fluctuates in parallel with the business
cycle. Finally, our results indicate that the importance of economic factors in determining partisan support for
European integration has grown in recent periods.
