Summary/Abstract |
Terrorist attacks adversely affect the Pakistani stock market. However, such effect is short-lived: the market recovers from terrorist shocks in one day. The impact of attack depends on the locations and types of attack. The more severe the attack (i.e. more people killed), the more negative is the KSE-100 index return. Most interestingly, stock market contains information about future attacks. In sum, different tactics of terrorists have varied effects on financial markets, which in turn can predict terrorist attacks.

Summary/Abstract |
How Islamic parties in South Asia respond to the global ‘War on Terror’ (WOT) and politicise related issues remains largely covered in press reports, which are often not in English. This article seeks to analyse the responses of one influential Pakistani Islamic party, Jama’at-e-Islami (JI), as a leading voice of protest. It provides evidence that engagement with WOT has reactivated JI and has become a political commodity for Islamists in Pakistan, feeding hopes that they will play a larger role in future governments in Pakistan. However, there are also signs that such hopes will remain unrealistic if JI does not distance itself from extremism and curbs Islamists’ terrorist activities.
