The life satisfaction approach to valuing public goods: The case of terrorism (2009, background): “…poverty does not increase terrorism risk, as assessed by an international risk agency (Abadie 2006) or reflected in the number of international terrorist attacks (Piazza 2006), nor do perpetrators predominantly stem from poor countries (Krueger and Laitin 2003; Kurrild-Klitgaard et al. 2006).”

Economic Conditions and the Quality of Suicide Terrorism (2010, background): “…we include this measure as one of the main explanatory variables of interest because income inequality has been repeatedly mentioned in the related literature as one of the determinants of political violence and terrorism (see, e.g., Li and Schaub 2004 and Piazza 2006 among many others).”
The socio-economic determinants of terrorism and political violence in Western Europe (1994–2007) (2011, methodology): “Piazza (2006) also does not find any significant relationship between economic development and terrorism.”
