We exploit the timing of the London bombings of July 2005, coinciding with a large‐scale national survey of adolescents, to identify the impact of extremist Islamic terror attacks on the well‐being of adolescent Muslims. Our analysis reveals interesting gender differences. We find evidence of a decline in the happiness of Muslim teenage girls after the bombings, which is also accompanied by a rise in expectations of facing discrimination in the labour market. These findings are robust to several falsification tests. However, we fail to uncover compelling evidence of any impact of the bombings on Muslim teenage boys.

伦敦爆炸案对青少年穆斯林的福祉的影响*

我们利用2005年7月伦敦爆炸案的发生时间，以及对青少年的大规模全国调查，来确定极端伊斯兰伊斯兰恐怖袭击对青少年穆斯林的福祉的影响。我们的分析揭示了有趣的性别差异。我们发现，爆炸后穆斯林少女的幸福感有所下降，同时也伴随着对劳动力市场面临歧视的期望上升。这些发现对一些证伪测试是可靠的。但是，我们未能找到令人信服的证据证明爆炸案对穆斯林少年有任何影响。
