economic consequences of terrorism

• Family Economics Research Priorities Set

The 2007-2010 research priorities of the Family Economics Research Coordinating Committee are discussed. More research is needed to determine the practices that motivate people to build wealth and not debt. Additional research is needed to examine the relationships between economically secure families, community prosperity, civic engagement, and rural entrepreneurship. To comprehensively address health and food security, research must look at all of these resources and the interactions among them. Research is needed on the economic consequences and adjustments of households following natural disasters, terrorism, and wars.

• International Terrorism in Latin America: Effects On Foreign Investment and Tourism

It has been suggested that terrorist attacks can have serious economic consequences for the countries where the attacks occur. An analysis of 23 countries in Latin America between 1969 and 1988 indicated that incidents of terrorism had only modest negative effects on foreign direct investment in these countries even though foreign operations of multinational corporations were frequent targets in this period. The tourist sector, however, was more susceptible to negative influences from terrorist violence.

• The Economic Effects of Federal Participation in Terrorism Risk

The catastrophic terrorist attack of September 11, 2001 caused unprecedented insured losses. While the insurance industry covered these losses, it also took swift steps to limit its exposure to such risks in the future. In response to ensuing market dislocations, the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act (TRIA) was passed in 2002. The law temporarily requires primary insurers to offer terrorism coverage and creates a federal "backstop" to limit losses on such coverage. In anticipation of the program's scheduled expiration, and to inform debate on its possible extension, this article analyzes market developments in the wake of 9/11 and the passage of TRIA. We find that to date, TRIA has facilitated private sector participation in the market for terrorism insurance by lending structure to an other...

• Five Ways to Tackle Spending and Deficits

When Gallup recently polled Americans on the biggest threat to America's future well-being, the escalating national debt tied terrorism at the top. They're right to worry. Washington's debt is on a completely unsustainable path. The Congressional Budget Office projects that the national debt held by the public - which stood below $6 trillion as late as 2008 - will top $20 trillion by the end of this decade if President Obama's budget is implemented. At 90 percent of the economy, such debt levels would risk large increases in interest rates and tax rates, and could also result in a Greece-like economic crisis. Beyond our own economic consequences, dumping this staggering debt load on future generations would be absolutely immoral.
