We consider the effects of terrorism in a home nation and in its neighbors on the home nation's imports. We find that a 10% increase in terrorist attacks in a neighboring nation reduces a country's imports from the rest of the world by approximately $320 million USD, on average. Mediation analysis shows that trading delays is a potential channel of transmission of trade costs of terrorism to a neighbor. We also present a monopolistically competitive theoretical model to throw light on our empirical results.

邻国恐怖主义对进口的影响

我们考虑恐怖主义在母国及其邻国对母国进口的影响。我们发现，邻国的恐怖袭击事件每增加 10%，一个国家从世界其他地区的进口平均就会减少约 3.2 亿美元。调解分析表明，贸易延误是恐怖主义贸易成本向邻国传递的潜在渠道。我们还提出了一个垄断竞争的理论模型来阐明我们的实证结果。
