Abstract
In this article, we study spillovers in political trust between the national parliaments of
15 Member States and the European Commission, the European Parliament and the
European Central Bank in the period 2000–2015. We show that in most instances
spillovers between the national parliaments and the European Commission and the
European Parliament are bidirectional, asymmetric, and change over time and place.
A corollary of these findings is that simultaneously achieving high level of trust in
institutions at different levels of governance may require a deeper understanding of
the complex inter-institutional relationships that exist in the EU multilevel governance
setting.
