| Summary/Abstract |
It is generally deemed that domestic and transnational terrorism respond to different types of events. This study updates Enders, Sandler, and Gaibulloev’s previous analysis to include data through the fourth quarter of 2010 and provides analysis of terrorism at the regional level. Vector autoregressions are used to show that previous findings are accurate on the whole, but that there are important differences between regions. Notably, the Granger-causality for the world depends on whether Iraq and Afghanistan are included in the sample, and impulse response functions highlight the persistent effect a shock to transnational terrorism can have on domestic terrorism.
