description Regarding the effect of geography on social violent behavior, this study introduces the idea that Geographic Fragmentation is associated with more terrorism, given its close relationship with the role of the government and socioeconomic conditions of people. We consider a panel of 128 countries between 1971 and 2005 using count data methodologies. This allows us to provide robust evidence for a consistent effect, even when different controls are included. Our baseline estimate indicates that one country with a 1% higher measure of Geographic Fragmentation is associated with an increment of 1.38 in the number of terrorist attacks on average.

Nosotros consideramos un panel de 128 países entre 1971 y 2005 usando metodologías para datos de conteo. Esto nos permite proveer evidencia robusta de un efecto consistente, incluso cuando diferentes controles son incluidos. Nuestra estimación de referencia indica que un país 1% más geográficamente fragmentado es asociado con un incremento de 1.38 en el promedio de número de ataques terroristas.engUniversidad EAFITEscuela de Economía y FinanzasAn Uphill Battle: The Relationship Between Geography and TerrorismworkingPaperinfo:eu-repo/semantics/workingPaperDocumento de trabajo de investigacióndrafthttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_b1a7d7d4d402bccehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_8042Acceso abiertohttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2determinants of terrorismfragmentationcount data modelszero inflated modelsdeterminantes del terrorismofragmentaciónmodelos de conteomodelos inflados en cerogcanavir@eafit.edu.coamonto23@eafit.edu.cofbedoya2@eafit.edu.coCanavire-Bacarreza, GustavoMontoya-Agudelo, AlejandraBedoya-Maya, FelipeLICENSElicense.txtlicense.txttext/plain; charset=utf-82556https://repository.eafit.edu.co/bitstreams/70de256f-f62d-4860-ab79-d91272ad0be1/download76025f86b095439b7ac65b367055d40cMD51ORIGINALWP-2017-16 Gustavo Canavire-Bacarreza.pdfWP-2017-16 Gustavo Canavire-Bacarreza.pdfDocumento de trabajo de investigaciónapplication/pdf4746158https://repository.eafit.edu.co/bitstreams/eed27927-753c-4d5f-b294-ae2163f89580/downloade3aa8a3cd44469421ca9c74218050c79MD5210784/11676oai:repository.eafit.edu.co:10784/116762024-03-05 14:06:02.153open.accesshttps://repository.eafit.edu.coRepositorio Institucional Universidad EAFITrepositorio@eafit.edu.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
