In many Germanic languages, the word for 'debt' also means 'guilt'. Cevat Giray Aksoy et al. find that using a guilt-laden term reduces willingness to borrow, lowers approval for government debt, & influences firms' financing plans and the framing of fiscal policy.

Graph showing the evolution of guilt slant over time in German parliamentary speeches concerning debt. Notes: The green line (left y-axis) shows the intensity of using guilt-connoted terms in speeches supporting public debt, while the red line (left y-axis) shows the same measure for speeches opposing public debt. Intensity measures the frequency of guilt-connoted words in a speech, scaled per 10,000 words. The grey bars (right y-axis) represent the percentage of speeches in favour of public debt in each electoral term. In many Germanic languages, the word for ‘debt’ also means ‘guilt’. This column explores whether the linguistic overlap leads to greater debt aversion in Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Switzerland. Using a guilt-laden term reduces willingness to borrow, lowers approval for government debt, and influences firms’ financing plans and politicians’ framing of fiscal policy. While support for public debt goes down with use of the laden term, the effect disappears when the purpose of the debt is clear. Linguistic framing may help guide borrowing toward socially optimal levels.
