Do Poor Economic Conditions Affect Terrorism
2012Co-Authors: Claude Berrebi, Esteban F. KlorAbstract:While the existing empirical literature shows that poverty and Economic Conditions are not correlated with the quantity of terror, theory predicts that poverty and poor Economic Conditions may affect the quality of terror. Poor Economic Conditions may lead more able individuals to participate in terror attacks, allowing terror organizations to send betterqualified terrorists to more complex, high-impact terror missions. Using data on Palestinian suicideterrorists, we provide evidence of the correlation between Economic Conditions, the characteristics of suicide terrorists, and the targets they attack.

Economic Conditions and the Quality of Suicide Terrorism
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2010Co-Authors: Efraim Benmelech, Claude Berrebi, Esteban F. KlorAbstract:We analyze the link between Economic Conditions and the quality of suicide terrorism. While the existing empirical literature shows that poverty and Economic Conditions are not correlated with the quantity of terror, theory predicts that poverty and poor Economic Conditions may affect the quality of terror. Poor Economic Conditions may lead more able, better-educated individuals to participate in terror attacks, allowing terror organizations to send better-qualified terrorists to more complex, higher-impact, terror missions. Using the universe of Palestinian suicide terrorists against Israeli targets between the years 2000 and 2006 we provide evidence on the correlation between Economic Conditions, the characteristics of suicide terrorists and the targets they attack. High levels of unemployment enable terror organizations to recruit more educated, mature and experienced suicide terrorists who in turn attack more important Israeli targets.

Economic Conditions and the Quality of Suicide Terrorism
2014Co-Authors: Benmelechefraim, Berrebiclaude, F KlorestebanAbstract:This article analyzes the link between Economic Conditions and the quality of suicide terrorism. While the existing empirical literature shows that poverty and Economic Conditions are not correlated with the quantity of terror, theory predicts that poverty and poor Economic Conditions may affect the quality of terror. Poor Economic Conditions may lead more able and better-educated individuals to participate in terror attacks, allowing terror organizations to send better-qualified terrorists to more complex, higher-impact terror missions. Using the universe of Palestinian suicide terrorists who acted against Israeli targets in 2000–06, we provide evidence of the correlation between Economic Conditions, the characteristics of suicide terrorists, and the targets they attack. High levels of unemployment enable terror organizations to recruit better educated, more mature, and more experienced suicide terrorists, who in turn attack more important Israeli targets.

National and Regional Economic Conditions
2007Co-Authors: Sandra PianaltoAbstract:I am the president and CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland. As part of my responsibilities, I also serve on the Federal Open Market Committee, or FOMC, which sets monetary policy for our nation. Of course, we know that Economic Conditions can be vastly different from region to region. At the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, we have spent time researching the factors that determine the differences we see in regional Economic growth. This morning, I would like to share some of those findings and explain why investments in innovation and human capital are important keys to our region's long-run prosperity.

Economic Conditions and Monetary Policy
Economic commentary, 2006Co-Authors: Sandra PianaltoAbstract:In order to set monetary policy appropriately, policymakers need to assess current Economic Conditions, understand how the economy got to where it is, and have a good idea of where it is heading. Because Economic Conditions are always in flux, good communications are important to successful policymaking. Communications can help the public appreciate policymakers’ objectives, understand their thinking about the prospects for meeting those objectives, and consider how new information might affect policy choices.

customer revolving credit how the Economic Conditions make a difference
Credit Scoring & Credit Control (9 ; 2005), 2005Co-Authors: Natasa Sarlija, Mirta Bensic, Zoran BohacekAbstract:The aim of this paper is to discuss credit scoring modeling of a customer revolving credit depending on customer application data and transaction behavior data influenced by specific Economic Conditions that exist in Croatia. Since Croatia is a country in transition with war consequences, changes in political, institutional and social systems and, above all, with specific Economic Conditions characterized by slow economy, a high unemployment rate and a relatively low personal income, it is assumed that this influences credit behavior of customers and, as a consequence, a composition of credit scoring models. For instance, it has been shown that a small business credit scoring model developed in Croatia is influenced by Economic Conditions. The data set for our research consisted of 50, 000 customer accounts (application data and transaction data) in Croatia over the period of 12 months. We have developed a logistic credit scoring model and a survival-based credit scoring model in order to assess the relative importance of different variables in predicting default as well as profitability of a customer. The paper analyzes influences of Economic Conditions on credit scoring modeling.
