Abstract

Attitudes for a common currency differ from nation to nation, or from region to region. We analyze regionally differing voting results of a referendum held in Sweden in lieu of joining the European Monetary Union. We put a special focus on the role of the industrial mix – being a potential factor influencing heterogeneous transmission – and find a significant, but subordinated, impact on voting behavior.
