Economics and Violent Conflict (2003, methodology): “A recent innovative approach uses data on neighboring regions within Spain to generate a “synthetic” Basque region whose economic performance, estimated as an average of the performance of other regions, may then be compared with actual performance (Abadie and Gardeazabal, 2001).”
The Effectiveness of Counter-Terrorism Strategies (2006, methodology): “BARROS (2003): Barros deviates from the use of ITERATE datasets and employs intervention analysis specifically on Spanish terrorist organization, ETA, terrorism using information collected by Abadie and Gardeazabal (2001).”
The economic effects of violent conflict: Evidence from asset market reactions (2005, methodology): “Some studies apply the event study methodology to firm-level data and study how the stock prices of different firms respond to conflict in the regions where they operate (see e.g. Abadie & Gardeazabal, 2003, on conflict in the Basque region and Guidolin & La Ferrara, 2007, on conflict in Angola).”
Macroeconomic Consequences of Terror: Theory and the Case of Israel (2004, background): “Equation (1) assumes that the instantaneous utility is logarithmic, and individuals have no bequest motive.”
