The Impact of the London Bombings on the Well‐Being of Adolescent Muslims*
利用2005年伦敦爆炸案与大规模青少年调查的时间巧合，研究发现爆炸后穆斯林少女的幸福感下降，且预期劳动市场歧视增加，但对穆斯林男孩无显著影响。
Abstract We exploit the timing of the London bombings of July 2005, coinciding with a large‐scale national survey of adolescents, to identify the impact of extremist Islamic terror attacks on the well‐being of adolescent Muslims. Our analysis reveals interesting gender differences. We find evidence of a decline in the happiness of Muslim teenage girls after the bombings, which is also accompanied by a rise in expectations of facing discrimination in the labour market. These findings are robust to several falsification tests. However, we fail to uncover compelling evidence of any impact of the bombings on Muslim teenage boys.
