Abstract

We investigate, using the 2002 US Health and Retirement Study, individuals’ insecurity and expectations about terrorism, and their effects on household financial decisions. We find that those without any military experience, the less educated, the more religious and females worry a lot about their safety. In addition, fear of terrorism discourages households from investing in stocks and owning a business, while it makes them more likely to buy term life insurance.

恐怖主义阴影下的金融决策
我们利用2002年美国健康与退休研究,调查了个人对恐怖主义的不安全感和预期,以及它们对家庭财务决策的影响。我们发现,那些没有任何军事经验的人、受教育程度较低的人、更虔诚的人以及女性都非常担心自己的安全。此外,对恐怖主义的恐惧使家庭不愿投资股票和拥有企业,而更有可能购买定期人寿保险。
