• Economic Conditions and the Quality of Suicide Terrorism (2010, unknown): “Unlike Bueno de Mesquita (2005a) and Rosendorff and Sandler (2010), Becker and Posner (2005) focus exclusively on individuals’ decision making and do not incorporate into the analysis the strategic considerations of terror organizations or the targeted government.”
• 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.”
• Terrorist group survival: ideology, tactics, and base of operations (2011, background): “GDP provides a target-rich environment; GDP may also provide more skilled recruits (Benmelech and Berrebi 2007).”
