Abstract: The COVID-19 outbreak in Europe has brought attention to EU health policy as a focal point for solidarity, particularly as it concerns access to medicines. Against the backdrop of policy proposals for EU joint procurement of medicines, this article expands our understanding of public opinion towards this particular aspect of European integration. Drawing on data from a conjoint experiment in five EU countries, the study investigates the extent to which citizens' preferences concerning alternative policy design… Show more

“…However, we observe that latent EU support and instrumental calculations trump justice attitudes in their explanatory power – in contrast to several studies in the COVID-19 context that only find a weak effect for self-interest (cf. Baute and de Ruijter, 2021 ; Bauhr and Charron, 2021 ; Bremer et al, 2021 ). Furthermore, we find that citizens judge policy initiatives such as a COVID-19 support fund more with regard to how much such funds benefit their home country rather than themselves.…”

“…Not only did the member states express solidarity by providing aid to other EU countries in need, but the EU has also taken extraordinary measures to tackle the crisis: it has agreed on a substantial recovery package that redistributes funds to the most severely affected countries while taking on common debts, thus breaking an important taboo that especially northern member states had staunchly defended during the European sovereign debt (Eurozone) crisis. Hence, the EU recovery package enacted during the COVID-19 pandemic also provides an opportunity to investigate determinants of citizens’ willingness to support cross-border redistribution among EU member states in the unique context of a transboundary health and economic crisis (see Bauhr and Charron, 2021 ; Baute and de Ruijter, 2021 ; Bobzien and Kalleitner, 2021 ; Goldberg et al, 2021 ).…”

“…How is satisfaction with the healthcare system related to generalized political trust? In addressing these questions, this article adds to a small, but strongly growing set of articles exploring the political, economic and societal consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic ( Ares et al, 2021 ; Baute and De Ruijter, 2021 ; Bol et al, 2021 ; Breznau, 2021 ; Diehl and Wolter, 2021 ; Grasso et al, 2021 ; Naumann et al, 2020 ; Reeskens et al, 2021 ). Even though some articles have addressed welfare state issues ( Ares et al, 2021 ; Baute and De Ruijter, 2021 ; Breznau, 2021 ), there is so far no study that has explored the impact of the pandemic on healthcare attitudes, to the best of my knowledge.…”

“…From an empirical perspective, the obvious empirical research gap that this paper addresses is that, to the best of my knowledge, there is no study yet that has studied the dynamics of health care attitudes during the Covid-19 pandemic (for an overview on this emerging field, see: Reeskens et al, 2021), even though some studies have started to explore the broader relationship between the pandemic and the welfare state (Ares et al, 2021;Baute & de Ruijter, 2021;Breznau, 2021). From a more theoretical perspective, this paper makes an important contribution to the broader debate about the association between political trust and the welfare state by testing whether the often proclaimed self-reinforcing feedback dynamic between high political trust and welfare state support holds under conditions of extreme stress, i.e., during a pandemic of historic proportions.…”
