“…We collected information on QoG in the EU regions, employing the European Quality of Government Index (EQI). This index has been recently constructed with the aim of providing scholars and policy‐makers with a comparable and homogeneous measure of governance at the regional level that can be used to make comparisons within and across countries in Europe (Charron et al, ; ; ). The EQI is based on survey data about European citizens' perceptions and experiences of the quality, impartiality and level of corruption in education, public health and law enforcement.…”

“…Second, we evaluate the role of QoG in explaining regional well‐being disparities. To this end, we use the Quality of Government EU Regional Dataset (Charron, Lapuente, & Rothstein, ; Charron, Dahlberg, Holmberg, Rothstein, Khomenko, & Svensson, ; Charron, Lapuente, & Annoni, ), which provides data on QoG for a wide sample of European regions estimated by means of the EQI index, a composite indicator based on the pillars of corruption, impartiality and quality of public services. Apart from the results for the composite well‐being indicator, we also present results for the 10 individual domains, which can be more informative for policy–makers.…”

This paper constructs a composite indicator of well-being for 168 European regions with data from 10 well-being domains. Regions are then ranked according to their respective levels of well-being. The ranking reveals notable differences across European regions, which follow a marked spatial pattern. As a second contribution, the paper analyses the impact of the quality of government on well-being. Results show a positive association robust to several specifications and scenarios. Moreover, the effects of quality of government on individual well-being dimensions are identified, finding positive links with education, jobs, income, safety civic engagement, access to services, housing and community support.

“…We controlled for this using a measure of regional institutional quality; namely, the European quality of government index (from Charron et al, ). Secondly, we controlled for the amount of per capita structural funds that was allocatd to regions for the 2007–13 budget period (logged) from Charron et al, (), as evidence suggests that greater transfers are associated with higher levels of support for EU integration (Chalmers and Dellmuth, ). This accounts for within‐country variation in economic development – the poorest 25 per cent of regions receive by far the largest proportion of CP transfers, while the wealthiest percentage receive quite little comparatively, and any possible good will created by EU investments that might explain higher support in CP in recipient regions.…”

Several recent studies show that citizens' identification with Europe is one of the most important determinants of support for EU integration, that may also hold the key to greater economic solidarity and support for international redistribution. This article proposes a multidimensional conception of European identity, and that citizens' support for redistribution within the EU is highly contingent not only on the level of identification with Europe but also on the nature of their feeling of belonging to the community. In particular, we suggest that citizens who feel European, based on civic ties, are more likely to support redistribution than those who instead identify with Europe on the basis of religion and in particular, Christianity. Using unique and newly collected regional‐level data, we found support for these claims. Thus, not only if, or how much, but also why citizens identify with Europe matters for the level of social solidarity across borders.

“…The EU has supported institutional capacity building via a dedicated budget in the structural funds and via ex-ante conditions to access funds. Nonetheless, there are still significant disparities in the quality of institutions across Europe ( Figure 6, Charron et al 2016). Efforts to support institutional upgrading could be stepped up by increasing investment in capacity-building, such as training of public officials involved in the management of structural funds or building platforms for exchange of best practices.…”
