EUDIFF-RES dataset

Abstract

The dataset has been created in the context of a H2020 project, InDivEU, focusing on Differentiated Integration in the European Union. The dataset is called EUDIFF-RES because it aims to analyse the Differentiation in statesﾴ contribution to public Resources in the EU. EUDIFF-RES covers resources employed in areas that lie at the heart of traditionally conceived state sovereignty, including common foreign and security policy, economic monetary policy and justice and home affairs. The dataset embraces all kinds of institutionalised resources falling within the general notion of ﾓde novo bodiesﾔ (Bickerton, Hodson, and Puetter 2015). The early 90s is the benchmark for data collection. The dataset starts with each bodyﾴs year of establishment and ends with 2019. the main variables of interest of the dataset are three: ﾓOwnershipﾔ, that is who owns resources bound to CSP. ﾓRegulationﾔ, that is who decides upon their disposal; and ﾓMaterial Differentiationﾔ, that is differentiated participation in financing the resources.
