Transnational solidarity in the EU. Analysing citizens’ redistributional behaviour in laboratory experiments
écrit avec Discussant: tba Co-author(s) : Hector Solaz (University of Birmingham)
The European sovereign debt crisis and the political turf wars it entailed have underlined both the political relevance and the fragile state of transnational solidarity in the European Union. In this paper, we study to what degree German and British citizens display some forms of solidarity with fellow Europeans by analysing their redistributional behaviour in laboratory experiments. We examine to what extent people are willing to redistribute EU-wide, and which personal characteristics make people more generous towards other Europeans. Our analyses find that people are most willing to redistribute locally rather than nationally or EU-wide, and that people’s orientations towards European integration are the strongest predictor of transnational redistribution, while political ideology and inequality aversion don’t seem to play a role.
