Abstract

The authors offer a general analytical framework illustrating the complex two-way interactions between trade and transnational terrorism. Then they survey the recent economic literature in light of this framework by pointing to the importance in empirical studies of (1) controlling appropriately for theses interactions, (2) distinguishing between source countries and target countries of terrorism, and (3) taking into account the intertemporal persistence of terrorism between specific pairs of countries.
