New paper published by Sharon Baute and co-authors!

In a new article, published in the Journal of Common Market Studies, Sharon Baute, Francesco Nicoli and Frank Vandenbroucke examine the role of reciprocity and deservingness in public support for European unemployment risk sharing. The study reveals that reciprocity in the architecture of the policy design mobilizes public support for European unemployment risk sharing. However, Europeans' sensitivity to 'conditional generosity' is shaped by their deservingness perceptions about the unemployed.
