Abstract

EU courts handle cases of considerable importance for European citizens and policymakers, yet we know little about the ideology of EU judges and how it might influence their decisions. Drawing on a new study, Wessel Wijtvliet and Arthur Dyevre demonstrate that the median ideological position of a judicial panel is a significant predictor of rulings on competition and state aid cases.
