Abstract

This documentation paper provides background information and basic descriptive statistics for a representative survey of the French, German, and Italian populations, focusing on attitudes towards and the demand for a digital euro conducted on our behalf by Dynata in November and December 2023. The survey is quota-based by gender, age, income, and region. To measure views on a digital euro, the survey controls for various characteristics, including the digitalisation of daily life, financial literacy, payment behaviour, attitudes towards European integration, and several socio-demographic characteristics. Additionally, three treatments are implemented. Treatment 1 highlights the differences between private and public money, Treatment 2 presents various hypothetical designs for a digital euro, and Treatment 3 introduces a digital euro holding limit.
