abstract="The aim of this paper is to identify the environmental impact induced by behavioral responses to terrorist attacks occurred in London on July 7th, 2005. By relying on the &quot;dread hypothesis&quot; and on the evidence of an increase in private transport subsequent attacks, we have estimated econometric models of pollution concentration. Our results point at a substantial environmental impact in terms of PM10 and NO2, possibly driven by an increase in the perception of higher safety of private transport with respect to public transit. <br><br>RESULTS are robust to several robustness checks, including nonlinear time trends and heterogeneity across types of monitoring stations.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
