Replication Data for public opinion on criteria needed for EU fiscal rules reforms in Germany, France, and Spain

To analyze country-specific priorities for fiscal reforms, I conducted an experimental study. The study involved creating three different surveys on the Appinio platform, each with 400 participants, in three different countries: Germany, France, and Spain. Specifically, I aimed to identify how fiscal reforms should be presented differently in each country to generate national involvement and interest, as well as appeal to a larger group of people. The study highlights the importance of considering country-specific factors when developing policy proposals and communications strategies. Initially, I created 6 surveys with 200 participants each, aged 18-65. Two surveys were created for each country, one control survey, and one treatment survey. The control surveys focused on a nationalistic perspective, where questions were posed in a way that put the participant in a 'for your country' point of view. The treatment surveys, on the other hand, looked at a more EU citizen perspective. After analyzing the data, I found that there was no significant difference between the treatments. Therefore, I merged the data and shifted our focus to examining the differences between countries.
