欧盟成员国之间关于扩大的冲突源于其再分配效应。如果欧盟成员国从欧盟的转移支付中获利，如果它们与失业率大大高于成员国的申请国相对较近，那么欧盟成员国更有可能因扩大而遭受损失。分阶段引入成员国权利是为了补偿扩大过程中的相对输家，以实现欧盟的扩大。使用数据从所有以前的扩大回合，直到2004年，我们表明，欧盟成员国更有可能要求歧视的新成员，如果出现分配冲突。这些分配冲突的存在反过来又增加了欧盟成员国和入盟候选国实际上就分阶段过渡期达成一致的可能性。
Conflicts between European Union (EU) members about enlargement result from its redistributive effects. EU members are more likely to suffer from enlargement if they profit from EU transfers and if they are relatively close to applicant countries in which unemployment is significantly higher than in member countries. Phasing in membership rights serves to compensate the relative losers of enlargement to accomplish EU widening. Using data from all previous enlargement rounds until 2004, we demonstrate that EU members are more likely to demand a discrimination of new members if distributional conflicts arise. The existence of these distributional conflicts in turn increases the odds of EU members and the accession candidates actually agreeing on a phase-in period.
