活动简介

内容摘要:

This study empirically investigates the impact of terrorist attacks on bilateral trade between Belt & Road countries and China comparing with other countries by employing the gravity model augmented with terrorism indexes, based on a panel data set from 1984 to 2014 covering 186 countries. We find that Belt & Road countries, where terrorist attacks are more frequent, trade more with China comparing with other countries, which is kind of new comparative advantage of China. We further test two possible mechanisms from both supply side and demand side. From the supply side, Chinese tend to take more risk than others when they encounter terrorist attacks, which may due to the lower value of statistical life (VSL) of Chinese; from demand side, terrorists have less incentives to attack Chinese because China maintains the foreign policy of mutual non-interference in each other's internal affairs. Our findings are robust through series of robustness checks by including various control variables, replacing various measurements of terrorism attack indexes, adopting instrumental variable approach, and implementing alternative empirical specifications of the gravity model.
