We study the fragility of trust between voters and politicians, exploring the likelihood of trust recovery following disruptions. We identify a critical trust threshold: above it, the trust dynamics converge to a stable steady state marked by politicians’ moderate deception and voters’ tempered expectations; below it, trust gradually declines, giving way to deepening scepticism. These insights highlight that while stable levels of trust are feasible, they should not be taken for granted, contributing to the discussion on the underpinnings of recent trust crises across European democracies.
期刊介绍:
The European Economic Review (EER) started publishing in 1969 as the first research journal specifically aiming to contribute to the development and application of economics as a science in Europe. As a broad-based professional and international journal, the EER welcomes submissions of applied and theoretical research papers in all fields of economics. The aim of the EER is to contribute to the development of the science of economics and its applications, as well as to improve communication between academic researchers, teachers and policy makers across the European continent and beyond.
