Economic effects of anti-terrorism security measures

Security measures aiming to manage the risk of urban terrorism impose economic effects on society, the so-called economic effects of anti-terrorism measures. In essence, they can be classified as the costs of terrorism since they result from the actions of households, private agents and public agents in an attempt to prevent a terror event to occur, or at least to mitigate the effects of such an event.

Description

Estimation of the economic impact of counter-terrorism measures includes accounting for direct (primary) and indirect (secondary) effects, including both the costs and the benefits (see the clickable map below).
