摘要：
We examine the relationship between terrorism and electoral accountability. We find that terror has a robust positive effect on the probability that the incumbent government is replaced. The magnitude of the effect increases with the severity of the terrorist attack. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
