Focussing on the economics of terrorism in the post 9/11 world,
this book brings together original research based on the
collaborative efforts of leading economists and planners. The
authoritative and expert contributors use a variety of
methodological approaches and apply them to different types of
terrorist attacks (on airports, highways, seaports, electric power
infrastructure, for example). They also draw analogies between
man-made and natural disasters. The results suggest that these
issues are extremely complex and that the economic costs of some
types of attack are huge, but that increased understanding and
estimation can be used to justify resource investments in
prevention, mitigation and response. A primary aim of the book is
to contribute to developing more cost-effective anti-terrorist
policies. Scholars and researchers in the fields of transportation,
public sector economics, urban planning, disaster prevention,
mitigation and management, and engineers will find The Economic
Impacts of Terrorist Attacks a major contribution to a new and
rapidly expanding research area.
