This paper studies the persistence of the effects that terrorism exert on municipality size. With this aim, we propose to implement new difference-in-differences techniques that control for heterogeneous effects across units and time. Using data of Colombia covering the period 1985-2020, we...

This paper studies the persistence of the effects of terrorist attacks on the urban structure at regional level. With this aim, a dynamic differences-in-differences approach is applied to all the municipalities of the Basque Country and Navarre autonomous communities in Spain during 1986-2014....
