Ranking Languages in European Union

Victor Ginsburgh, Juan Moreno-Ternero and Shlomo Weber ()

Working Papers ECARES from ULB -- Universite Libre de Bruxelles

Abstract: This article presents a stylized framework to rank languages in multilingual societies. We consider several ranking methods, reflecting principles such as mini-mal disenfranchisement, communicative benefits, or utilitarianism, as well as gametheory-based rankings referring to the Shapley Value. We use data from the Special Eurobarometer survey in order to apply these methods to rank languages within the European Union. Although the methods largely differ on their normative grounds, they lead to very close results.
