CALCULATING TRAGEDY: ASSESSING THE COSTS OF TERRORISM
综述了恐怖主义的经济成本，并探讨了用生活满意度法估算人们效用损失的方法，发现效用损失可能远超纯经济损失。
Abstract The trends and consequences of terrorist activities are often captured by counting the number of incidents and casualties. More recently, the effects of terrorist acts on various aspects of the economy have been analyzed. These costs are surveyed and put in perspective. As economic consequences are only a part of the overall costs of terrorism, possible approaches for estimating the utility losses of the people affected are discussed. Results using the life satisfaction approach, in which individual utility is approximated by self‐reported subjective well‐being, suggest that people's utility losses may far exceed the purely economic consequences.
