Dimant, Eugen; Krieger, Tim; Meierrieks, Daniel - 2020
Does U.S. military aid make the United States safer? To answer this question, we collect data on 173 countries between 1968 and 2014. Exploiting quasi-random variation in the global patterns of U.S. military aid, our paper is the first to provide causal estimates of the effect of U.S. military...

Dreher, Axel; Gassebner, Martin; Schaudt, Paul - 2017
We investigate whether the stock of foreigners residing in a country leads to a larger number of terrorist attacks on that country. Our instrument for the stock of foreigners relies on the interaction of two sets of variables. Variation across host-origin-dyads results from structural...

Negative returns : U.S. military policy and anti-American terrorism
Dimant, Eugen; Krieger, Tim; Meierrieks, Daniel - 2017
We investigate the effect of U.S. military aid and U.S. troop deployments on anti-American terrorism, using a sample of 106 countries between 1986 and 2011. We find that greater military commitment leads to more anti-American terrorism. We study the underlying mechanisms using a mediation...
