Crisis and Public Support for the Euro, 1990–2014*
分析了1990至2014年欧元区12国公众对欧元支持率的演变，发现危机期间支持率仅小幅下降但仍保持高位，失业率上升主要削弱了对欧洲央行的信任，与对欧元支持的关系较弱。
Abstract This article analyses the evolution of public support for the single European currency, the euro, from 1990 to 2014 for a 12‐country sample of the euro area (EA‐12), focusing on the most recent period of the financial and sovereign debt crisis, starting in 2008. We find that citizens' support for the euro on average was marginally reduced during the first six years of the crisis, and that support has remained at high levels. While the pronounced increase in unemployment in the EA‐12 throughout the crisis has led to a marked decline in trust in the European Central Bank (ECB), it is only weakly related to support for the euro.
