Abstract

Diese Studie diskutiert wirtschaftliche und polit-ökonomische Aspekte der österreichischen EU-Mitgliedschaft. Wir geben einen Überblick über neuere empirische Studien, die Österreich einen durchaus substanziellen kumulativen BIP-Zuwachs der europäischen Integration zuschreiben. Die konkrete Einschätzung der europabezogenen Wachstumsdividende hängt unter anderem von der Integrationsdefinition und dem betrachteten Zeitraum ab. Auch die Auswirkungen auf die Gesamtbeschäftigung sind positiv. Die Effekte auf die Beschäftigung österreichischer Staatsbürger(innen) konnten allerdings ebenso wenig wie Verteilungswirkungen quantifiziert werden. Es muss aber davon ausgegangen werden, dass nicht alle Österreicher( innen) im gleichen Ausmaß von der EU-Mitgliedschaft profitierten und die Mitgliedschaft für einige Bevölkerungsgruppen auch Nachteile brachte, die wohl nicht immer vollständig kompensiert werden konnten. Die niedrige Durchschnittsinflation von 1,8 % seit der Einführung des Euro ist zumindest teilweise auf den Euro zurückzuführen. Die krisenbedingten Maßnahmen der EU haben zudem die Stabilität des österreichischen Bankensystems erhöht. Der österreichische Nettobeitrag von 0,4 % des BIP in das EU-Budget nimmt sich gegenüber den positiven Wachstumseffekten der EU-Mitgliedschaft relativ gering aus. Über die wirtschaftliche Dimension hinaus gewinnt in unsicheren Zeiten die originäre Zielsetzung eines geeinten Europas als Friedensprojekt wieder an Bedeutung. In demokratiepolitischer Hinsicht wird die EU als schrittweiser und naturgemäß nicht perfekter Versuch gesehen, auf zunehmende globale Herausforderungen mit neuen kooperativen Verfahrensformen zu antworten.
