摘要

Using panel data for a maximum of 109 countries over the years 1976-2000 we empirically analyze the impact of decentralization on the occurrence of transnational terror Our results show that expenditure decentralization reduces the number of transnational terror events in a country while political decentralization has no impact These results are robust to the choice of control variables and method of estimation
