Crisis and public support for the eurο

Roth, Felix,  Jonung, Lars,  Nowak-Lehmann, Felicitas, (2012), ‘Crisis and public support for the eurο’, www.voxeu.org, 5 November.

The Eurozone crisis has meant slow growth, rising unemployment, and social unrest. This column gauges the impact of all this on European citizens‘ opinions about the euro and EU institutions. Using Eurobarometer surveys, the authors find that, within the Eurozone, the crisis has only marginally lowered support for the euro but has led to a sharp fall in public trust in the ECB.
