The socio-economic determinants of terrorism and political violence in Western Europe (1994–2007) (2011, background): “Berrebi (2007) and Benmelech and Berrebi (2007) with a specific focus on suicide attacks in Israel show that that both higher education and standard of living are positively associated with the incidence of suicide attacks.”
The Political Effectiveness of Terrorism Revisited (2012, background): “This range of groups is presumably why terrorism scholars often analyze them to make empirical observations about terrorist behavior more generally (e.g., Berrebi, 2003; Byman, 2005; Cronin, 2006; Kydd & Walter, 2006).”
Why does democracy need education? (2007, unknown): “Perhaps more controversially, Krueger and Maleckova (2003) and Berrebi (2003) link education to terrorism in the Middle East.”
On the origin of domestic and international terrorism (2011, background): “In a very influential paper Krueger and Malečkova (2003) show that deceased Hezbollah terrorists tend to be better educated and better off than the pool from which they were drawn; Berrebi (2007) corroborates this finding for terrorists of Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and the Palestini”
The Changing Nature of Work (2018, background): “331 Bento and Restuccia (2017). 332 Rijkers, Freund, and Nucifora (2017). 333 Haltiwanger, Jarmin and Miranda (2013). 334 Hsieh and Klenow (2014).”
Psychological factors in terrorism and counterterrorism: Individual, group, and organizational levels of analysis. (2009, background): “On the aggregate level, Berrebi (2003) found no relationship between economic conditions in the West Bank and number of terrorist incidents carried out by Palestinian militants.”
The life satisfaction approach to valuing public goods: The case of terrorism (2009, background): “Analyzing the characteristics of members of Israeli extremists, the Hezbollah, Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Krueger and Maleckova (2003) and Berrebi (2003) find that poverty does not increase the propensity to participate in terrorism.”
Terrorism: The relevance of the rational choice model (2006, background): “Most social scientists who study terrorism - including a number of economists - emphasize the role of persuasion (Gambetta, 2005; Wiktorowicz, 2004; lannacone, 2003; Berrebi, 2003).”
