2012.

Summary/Abstract

This article presents a dynamic model in which counterterrorism policies have the potential to generate positive public support for terrorism via a backlash that may fuel terror recruitment. For an optimizing government aiming at maximizing security, this phenomenon produces a natural bound on proactive counterterror policy that is related to the dynamic path of conflict. Moreover, terror is a persistent phenomenon that requires patience on the part of the target government for optimal counterterror policies to be realized. Finally, the potential for backlash yields insights into the need for target governments to fight an information war to change public opinion regarding its own policies and the ultimate effect of terror attacks.

Summary/Abstract

This paper aims to answer this question: What were the causes of the severe slowdown in bank credit in Japan between 1999 and 2005? We test three credit crunch hypotheses, all together. The empirical results uncover the occurrence of a credit crunch that is attributed to bankers’ precautionary behavior rather than direct regulatory capital worries.
