Abstract:
This article investigates the impact of terrorist attacks on global capital markets. We find economic
consequences of terrorist attacks spillover through trading partners. When a bigger economy (measured
by GDP) is targeted, the spillover is specifically prominent for economically smaller trading partners.
Such partners see a -2.5% reduction in national stock indices. Odds for smaller trading partners
experiencing a negative abnormal stock impact are over 5.7 times greater than other countries. An
attacked country’s bigger trading partners do not experience a decline in stock indices. Democratic
countries are more vulnerable while country specific trade characteristics do not contribute to spillover.
