THE ECONOMICS OF COUNTERTERRORISM: A SURVEY
综述了恐怖主义与反恐的经济学理论和实证研究，指出简单理性选择模型的优势与局限，并重新评估反恐策略，为未来研究提供方向。
Abstract We provide a review of theoretical and empirical contributions on the economic analysis of terrorism and counterterrorism. We argue that simple rational‐choice models of terrorist behavior – in the form of cost‐benefit models – already provide a well‐founded theoretical framework for the study of terrorism and counterterrorism. We also hint at their limitations which relate to the failure of accounting for the dynamics between terrorism and counterterrorism that may produce unintended second‐order effects as well as for the costs associated with counterterrorism and its international dimension. We reevaluate previously proposed counterterrorism strategies accordingly. Finally, in the light of our findings, we discuss interesting areas of future research.
