- This paper examines how trust in national and European institutions, as surveyed in the
Eurobarometer, has been affected by the 2008 global financial crisis. By using a recently
published database on financial crises in Europe for the EU-countries between 1999 and 2017 a
series of panel regressions gives strong support for the hypothesis that a financial crisis has a
negative effect on institutional trust. Furthermore, the results help to develop our understanding
of the long-term effect of financial crises on trust, since the trust seems to return – a result that is
especially visible for the European Commission and the European Parliament. This indicates that

research is necessary to be able to understand why this is the case, and why this is less apparent
for national institutions and the European Central Bank. (Less)
