Social representations of the euro in Austria

Article Abstract:

A survey of the attitudes and social representations of Economic and Monetary Union in a sample of 534 respondents in Austria showed that opposition to the single currency unit was justified by currency instability, financial losses, loss of national autonomy and questions over the equitable distribution of the euro's benefits and costs. On the other hand, opportunities in tourism and trading were cited as main reasons for establishing the euro standard.
