European policy makers, notably in the euro area, seem to take for granted that the electorate will punish them for bold reform in product and labour markets.

As a result, the electorate tend to reward, not punish, reformist governments. This has important implications for the design of structural reform packages, with financial market reforms being an essential ingredient beside product and labour market reforms.
