Abstract

This paper aims at investigating individuals’ attitudes towards immigrants across European countries. In particular, we analyze how socio-demographic characteristics, altruism, and political preferences shape inclusive behavior towards immigrants. We use data from the European Value Study providing information at the individual level for 16 European countries, observed in 1999 and 2008. The results show relevant differences in individuals’ attitudes across countries and a general tendency to be less inclusive in the more recent period.
