Causal Linkages Between Domestic Terrorism and Economic Growth (2011, background): “Considering economic development and terrorism, several studies find that higher levels of development are obstacles to the production of terrorism (e.g., Santos Bravo and Mendes Dias, 2006; Lai, 2007; Freytag et al., 2009).”
Economic growth and terrorism: domestic, international, and suicide (2015, background): “Similarly, Lai (2007) reports that countries with higher levels of economic inequality are more likely to experience higher levels of terrorism.”
The Origins of Terrorism - Cross-Country Estimates on Socio-Economic Determinants of Terrorism (2011, background): “Our findings on population size fit with the general consensus that demographic stress is linked to increases in terror (e.g. Burgoon 2006; Lai 2007).”
The Impact of Terrorism on Governance in African Countries (2017, background): “…of features like judicial independence (Findley & Young, 2011); rule of law (Choi, 2010) and better conditions for conflict management (Li, 2005); another stream of the literature argues that terrorism is more likely to develop in conditions of government instability (Lai 2007; Piazza 2008a).”
On the origin of domestic and international terrorism (2011, background): “ Our result is in line with Lai (2007) and Blomberg and Hess (2008a), but contradicts Krueger and Malečkova (2003), Krueger and Latin (2008) and Kurrild‐Klitgaard et al.”
