In this note we consider an economic union consisting of sovereign national states.

An asymmetric shock hits the union and as a result it decides to set up a fund in

order to compensate the countries in the union. We show how sacrifice theory can

be used to determine the compensation payments for the countries in a way such

that the relative damages after compensation are equal across countries. Finally, we

apply our results to determine the Covid-19 compensation payments in the EU.
