National Economic Performance and Public Support for the EU
digital

Year:
2007
This paper analyses the relationship between national economic conditions and public support
for the EU. Firstly, it proposes a simple conceptual framework, drawing on theories of utilitarian
support and on the recent political economic literature on integration processes. Subsequently, it tests
this framework against panel data on EU member countries. The findings show that economic benefits
and costs shape citizens’ attitudes towards EU membership, but with differences over time and
space. Our analysis challenges some previous findings of the literature on aggregate public support
for the EU and may also shed some light on the problems encountered during ratification of the
Constitutional Treaty.
