Abstract:Based on a longitudinal household panel dataset in the U.K. with most of the interviews performed annually in September, it is possible to show that the attacks of Sept. 11 resulted in lower levels of subjective well-being for those interviewed after that date in 2001 compared with those interviewed before it. This quasi-experiment offers one of the first examples of the impact of a terrorist attack in one country on well-being in another one.
