Subsidiarity for a Changing UnionEmanuela CarbonaraUniversity of Bologna - Department of Economics Barbara LuppiUniversità degli studi di Modena e Reggio Emilia (UNIMORE) - Faculty of Business and Economics; University of St. Thomas School of Law Francesco ParisiUniversity of Minnesota - Law School; University of Bologna September 28, 2012 Research Handbook on Economics of European Union Law, 95-110 (Elgar, 2012) Minnesota Legal Studies Research Paper No. 12-52 Abstract: In this paper, we develop an economic model of subsidiarity and discuss the ways in which this instrument should best be applied in the context of a changing European Union. The results suggest that the application of the subsidiarity test in the context of a union with growing membership requires both a prospective and retrospective analysis of the reallocation of competences between states and Union. Absent such a dynamic application, the instrument of subsidiarity could become an instrument of entrenched centralization, contrary to its historical origins and functional purpose.
