How European integration influences the way we think about redistribution of income

Costa-Font, Joan, Cowell, Frank, (2015), “How European integration influences the way we think about redistribution of income”, LSE blog, 22 October

Drawing on findings from a recent study, Joan Costa-Font and Frank Cowell write that European integration has a role in lessening national pride and is conducive to a more positive attitude toward income redistribution. They argue that when individuals identify themselves with a ‘broader other’, they are more willing to redistribute resources.
