Abstract

This paper uses a recursive dynamic general equilibrium model to study the impact of the 2015 terrorist attacks in Tunisia. It examines the government’s fiscal responses: increased security spending and the reduction of the tourism sector’s value-added tax (VAT) rate. It finds that these responses accounted for a significant share of the attacks’ total cost. The results also underscore the need for a comprehensive approach to addressing the economic consequences of terrorism. Increased security spending mitigates future risks but does not directly help the affected sector. Direct support to the sector by reducing VAT has an immediate and positive impact.

突尼斯的恐怖主义和经济政策反应
本文采用递归动态一般均衡模型研究2015年突尼斯恐怖袭击的影响。它考察了政府的财政应对措施:增加安全支出和降低旅游业的增值税税率。报告发现,这些响应占攻击总成本的很大一部分。调查结果还强调需要采取综合办法来处理恐怖主义的经济后果。增加的安全支出减轻了未来的风险,但并不能直接帮助受影响的部门。通过降低增值税直接支持该行业具有立竿见影的积极效果。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Policy Modeling is published by Elsevier for the Society for Policy Modeling to provide a forum for analysis and debate concerning international policy issues. The journal addresses questions of critical import to the world community as a whole, and it focuses upon the economic, social, and political interdependencies between national and regional systems. This implies concern with international policies for the promotion of a better life for all human beings and, therefore, concentrates on improved methodological underpinnings for dealing with these problems.
