Causality between terrorism and economic growth (2013, background): “Blomberg, Hess & Weerapana (2004) argue that poor growth ought to coincide with more terrorism because terrorists find it more promising to engage in violence in order to participate economically (so that the benefits of terrorism increase), in particular as they are less likely to find non-violent…”
Regional effects of terrorism on economic growth in Turkey: A geographically weighted regression approach (2010, background): “However, when additional controls are taken into account, terrorism does not have a significant impact on growth, confirming the findings of Blomberg, Hess & Weerapana (2004) and Blomberg, Hess & Orphanides (2004).”
The socio-economic determinants of terrorism and political violence in Western Europe (1994–2007) (2011, methodology): “Blomberg et al. (2004) using the ITERATE database, analyze a panel of 127 countries over the period 1968–1991.”
Calculating Tragedy: Assessing the Costs of Terrorism (2004, neutral): “An extensive VAR study of the macroeconomic effects of terrorism (Blomberg et al., 2004a; see also Blomberg et al., 2004b) uses a panel set with annual observations for 177 countries from 1968 to 2000.”
The roles of foreign aid and education in the war on terror (2008, background): “Several empirical papers have shown that economic downturns are significant for explaining upsurges of terrorist attacks (Blomberg et al. 2004, Li, 2005). Hence, the macroeconomic evidence seems to contradict the findings emerging from individual data. Moreover, Basuchoudhary and Shughart (2007) fin”
Economic consequences of terrorism in developed and developing countries: An overview (2008, background): “Studies include Blomberg, Hess, and Orphanides (2004), Blomberg, Hess, and Weerapana (2004), Li (2005), and Li and Schaub (2004).”
The Quality of Terror (2005, background): “In particular, empirical findings indicate that economic contractions are positively correlated with increased mobilization (Blomberg, Hess, and Weerapana 2004; Drakos and Gofas 2004).”
The Origins of Terrorism - Cross-Country Estimates on Socio-Economic Determinants of Terrorism (2011, background): “Interestingly, this effect is particularly relevant after a certain level of development has been reached.”
Economic growth and terrorism: domestic, international, and suicide (2015, background): “As these opportunities extend to disadvantaged populations, the pursuit of economic interests is incentivized over the temptation to engage in risky terrorist violence (Blomberg et al., 2004; Enders and Sandler, 2006; Freytag et al., 2011).”
Causal Linkages Between Domestic Terrorism and Economic Growth (2011, background): “…economic crisis dissidents are more likely to resort to violence as the opportunity costs of terror are low, while the potential long-run payoffs from violence (i.e., a redistribution of scarce economic resources which is to be enforced by terrorism) are comparatively high (Blomberg et al., 2004b).”
