Abstract

Modelle ökonomischen Wählens rekurrieren auf zwei Elemente: die Evaluation ökonomischer Verhältnisse und die Zuschreibung von Verantwortlichkeit. So wird eine demokratietheoretisch wichtige Kontrollfunktion ermöglicht; bei schlechter Lage und perzipierter Regierungsverantwortung wird eine Stimme für die Regierung unwahrscheinlicher. In letzter Zeit finden sich vermehrt Studien, die einen Bias bei der Evaluation und teilweise auch bei der Zuschreibung von Verantwortlichkeit nachweisen. Unser Beitrag transferiert diese Beobachtungen in den Kontext der EU. Die Ergebnisse dieser vergleichenden Analyse bestätigen, dass sowohl Parteineigungen zugunsten der Regierung als auch Einstellungen gegenüber der EU die Verantwortungszuschreibung, konditional zur wirtschaftlichen Lage, verzerren. Die demokratietheoretische Relevanz des Ansatzes ist somit stark beeinträchtigt.
