The stock market effects of Islamist versus non-Islamist terror
We analyze the stock market reaction to all 124 terrorist attacks in the US and Europe between 1994 and 2018 that caused at least five fatalities or ten injured people. We find that while Islamist terror attacks created significant negative abnormal returns in American and European markets, the stock market effects of other terror attacks were almost nil. We show, also after controlling for attack characteristics and the media pressure of competi…
Are All Men Served Equal(ly)? The Development of the Racial Gap in Public Services in Post-Apartheid South Africa
We analyze comprehensively the development of post-apartheid racial gaps in core public services – utilities and school completion rates – in South Africa. Using census data and community surveys with more than 7 million respondents over the period 2001 - 2022, we find that the black African population has caught up in a number of core services (piped water, electricity, primary and lower secondary education), but has continued to lag behind in o…
The long-term effect of western customs institution on firm innovation in China
Can cultural norms fostered by historical institutions affect today’s firm innovation? We analyze a historical experiment in China in 1902, when the foreign-run Chinese Maritime Customs Service (CMC), known for its efficient and transparent governance, took over some of the Chinese Native Customs stations and improved their governance. Using a large data set of contemporary industrial firms in China and an IV strategy that exploits the takeover c…
What Can Economics Contribute to the Study of Terrorism? - The Power and Limitation of Economics
We assess the potential of economics to contribute to the understanding of terrorism. We argue that the economic approach portraying terrorists and law enforcement agents as rational actors yoked to other disciplines is a source of precise falsifiable causal hypotheses. Theoretical economics rooted in rational choice provides precisely falsifiable hypotheses. This falsifiability makes it easier to focus on identifying causal relationships, which …
Political-economic correlates of environmental policy
What are the correlates of environmental performance? In particular, does globalization lead to environmental degradation? What is the role of democracy for environmental performance and do left-wing governments really care more about the environment? Using a novel and comprehensive measure of environmental performance, we test these three hypotheses for a panel of 134 countries for the period 2007–2016. Our results are surprising—we find no evid…
Are suicide terrorists different from ‘regular militants’
We analyze the differences in the socioeconomic profiles between suicide terrorists and ‘regular’ militants using a dataset of 1596 militants (including 209 suicide terrorists) from Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ). We find that suicide terrorists are better educated, younger, less likely to be married or have children, and less likely to live in the Gaza strip than their non-suicide counterparts. Moreover, although the profiles of Hamas…
Jenseits von Corona
Die Corona-Pandemie hat unser aller Leben einschneidend verändert. Wir sind Zeugen eines multiplen Systemschocks - Schwächen und Verwundbarkeiten wurden auf vielen Ebenen bloßgelegt. Was bleibt von der Krise und ihren tief greifenden Veränderungen? Stellt sie eine Zeitenwende dar oder ist sie nur eine Delle in langfristigen Trendlinien? Wie wird Corona unsere Lebenswelten in Familie, Arbeit, Schule, Wirtschaft, Politik, Kultur und Wissenschaft da…
Are Democracies Cleaner
Taxing Times in Indonesia
Indonesia’s economic growth picked up slightly in mid-2016 but remains below the level demanded by government and popular aspirations. Despite a plethora of reforms intended to increase efficiency and productivity, some policies are perverse and longstanding problems of implementation remain. The share of manufacturing has declined, the real exchange rate has appreciated, exports have dwindled, and growth has been trending downwards. The banking …
Corruption at the Grassroots-level – Between Temptation, Norms, and Culture
A Very Short History of Corruption Research and a List of What We Should Aim For
Administrative Overspending in Indonesian Districts
The regional effects of Indonesia's oil and gas policy
This paper analyses the effects on the regions of Indonesia's fuel policy. It discusses how the sharing of oil and gas revenue and taxes between the centre and the regions affects the sub-national fiscal position, and examines the distribution of fuel subsidies across regions. The paper also examines the recent proposals to discontinue subsidising gasoline for private vehicles or to eliminate fuel subsidies altogether, and shows how the regions w…
Child Labour in Indonesian Small Industries
We analyse the geographic incidence of child labour in small manufacturing firms in Indonesia at the village level. Our unique data set covers virtually all Indonesian villages and urban neighbourhoods; it allows us to distinguish between demand and supply side determinants of child labour. We show by correcting for sample selection that a number of counterintuitive results – child labour being unaffected by credit access and school proximity – a…

La Donna e Mobile – or is She? Voter Preferences and Public Support for the Performing Arts
Globalisation of the Economy and the Nation State
T HE international economic organisations (IMF, World Bank, OECD, WTO, etc.) and most economists hold the view that global economic integration represents a vehicle for significant welfare enhancement. 1 The political climate on the level of the nation states, however, does not reflect this optimism.On the contrary, the catchword 'globalisation' appears to acquire more and more a decidedly negative connotation.It has become popular among national…
