Causal factors of terrorist attacks on countries, and corresponding spill-overs between them

European Journal of Political Economy, 2022, vol. 72, issue C

Abstract: This paper quantifies spill-overs of terrorist attacks between countries through a variety of factors. One of these factors is Hawala, a vast informal funds transfer system providing speedy, untraceable funding and money laundering for global terrorism. This issue is quite relevant given the rise of terrorist organizations such as the Islamic State, with vast and difficult to track cash earnings.
