This study examines whether a terrorist attack in a developed country, which does not cause major damage to its capital stocks, affects the mental health of its residents. By exploiting variations in survey dates of the European Social Survey, we use a difference-in-differences strategy to show that the attack adversely affects subjective well-being and mental health measures of French respondents. These negative effects are stronger for immigrants and low-income individuals. The impact is less dramatic for politically extreme right-wing supporters. The distance from origin has little impact on these measures.
本研究考察了在一个对其资本存量未造成重大损害的发达国家发生的恐怖袭击是否会影响其居民的心理健康。通过利用欧洲社会调查的调查日期差异，我们采用双重差分策略来表明，此次袭击对法国受访者的主观幸福感和心理健康指标产生了不利影响。这些负面影响对移民和低收入个体更为强烈。对于政治极右翼支持者而言，影响则没那么显著。与袭击发生地的距离对这些指标几乎没有影响。
