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.
