Austerity and Support for the Common Currency

• In Event: Economic Shocks

Brief Overview

We look at the effect of austerity on support for the euro during the period 2004-2019. At the national level, we find no effect. We explain this with micro-level data: austerity reduces support for the euro among the unemployed, not among others.
