The paper tests the effect of structure and actor level variables. First, we test structural factors in terms of the autonomy that substate authorities hold. Second, we test some actor level factors that may also increase transaction costs: autonomy of substate actors, public opinion on the EU and administrative capacity. The results indicate that there is a relationship between the increased autonomy of substate authorities and higher number of infringements. The results also provide support that preference to exercise this autonomy correlates with higher infringements. In addition, the results show that negative public opinion on the EU is strongly correlated to higher numbers of infringements. This suggests that transaction costs associated with multilevel policy implementation and attitudes to the EU are determinants of substate infringements.This work was supported by the Spanish Ministry Science and Research under Grant PID2020‐119716GB‐I00; it was also supported by the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union under Grants 101085465—BACES and 101047889—EU‐GOV (Jean Monnet Chair in European Governance).Policy Studies Organization2024202420242024info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10230/59326http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/epa2.1201reponame:Recercat.
