Government Decentralization as a Disincentive for Transnational Terror? An Empirical Analysis Using panel data for a maximum of 109 countries over the years 1976-2000, we empirically analyze the impact of decentralization on the occurrence of transnational terror. Our results show that expenditure decentralization reduces the number of transnational terror events in a country, while political decentralization has no impact. These results are robust to the choice of control variables and method of estimation. JEL Classification: D74, H70, H40

متن کاملDecentralization as a disincentive for terror
Consideration of anti-terrorism policy has focused almost exclusively on deterrence that seeks to fend off terrorism by raising the costs of undertaking terrorist acts.

Specifically...
