Acknowledgments

Parts of this contribution are based on my Ph.D. dissertation. I want to thank my scientific advisors Thomas Gries, Manfred Kraft, and Tim Krieger for generously supporting this research. I also want to thank Friedrich Schneider and Tilman Brück for their cooperation on a joint survey on the economics of counter-terrorism. This survey is also used for parts of this contribution. Finally, I want to thank Andrea Locatelli and Raul Caruso for further insightful comments on an earlier version of this contribution.
