“…Such a phenomenon would be in line with the existing literature showing that more or less explicit forms of societal backlash against migrant groups can have detrimental effects on the integration of immigrants (Gould andKlor 2015, Elsayed andde Grip 2017). Second, I find that only immigrants, who regularly consume media from their country of origin, did experience significant treatment effects, which is also visible when looking at Eastern European and TMENA migrants, but not Western migrants.…”

“…Some contributions have been looking at the effect of terrorism on economic and behavioral outcomes (Gautier et al, 2009;Prager et al 2011); others have studied voting outcomes (Getmansky and Zeitzoff, 2014;Montalvo, 2011). A number of works have been concerned with attitudes towards migrants or of migrants themselves (Böhmelt et al, 2020;Van de Vyver et al, 2016;Hanes and Machin, 2014;Elsayed and De Grip, 2013). Of most relevance for us is Economou and Kollias (2018) who compare attitude on security policies in EU countries around half a year after the terrorist attacks in France in 2015.…”

We use the occurrence of the London bombings in July 7 2005 during the fieldwork period of the British Social Attitudes Survey to analyse the dynamics of public support for measures curbing core freedoms. We observe little changes in public attitudes towards counter-terrorist policies in the first week after the attack. Approval of infringements on privacy and procedural rights surges in the following weeks before stabilizing at an increased level in the medium run.Our findings indicate that, when it comes to restrictive counter-terrorist measures, the public adopts a wait-and-see attitude rather than reacting in fear. Ancillary analyses suggest that the media may be the source of attitudinal changes on policies curtailing civil liberties.

“…Following 9/11, scholars became increasingly interested in how security concerns, on top of cultural and economic ones (e.g., Citrin et al, 1997; Hainmueller & Hopkins, 2014; Mayda, 2006; Pardos-Prado & Xena, 2019; Valentino et al, 2017), shape attitudes towards immigrants and minorities (e.g., Böhmelt et al, 2020; Lahav, 2010; Legewie, 2013; Messina, 2014). Episodes of hate crimes (Hanes & Machin, 2014), labor (Davila & Mora, 2005), housing (Gautier et al, 2009) or institutional discrimination (Shayo & Zussman, 2011) are thought to signal a worrisome shift in public attitudes (e.g., Elsayed & De Grip, 2018). However, whether the public at large leans with or against such discriminatory behavior is still an open question.…”

Fear without Prejudice in the Shadow of Jihadist Threat

Because the prejudice of the ingroup builds into fear of the outgroup, jihadist terrorism is expected to strengthen the politicized link between security and immigration. I use a causal inference in a clustered cross-country analysis to test the simultaneous short-run causal impact of the jihadist threat on security fear and ethnic prejudice of the public in Israel, the Netherlands, Russia, Sweden, France, and Germany. In line with common wisdom, jihadist attacks significantly increase security fear. Against it, jihadist attacks non-significantly decrease ethnic prejudice. This empirical pattern holds in across different types of immigration attitudes, ethnic groups, intervals of time and terrorist events, and is robust to placebo treatments, placebo policy preferences, fake and failed terror attacks. These findings challenge extant consensus, and suggest that jihadist attacks, particularly at the local level, induce risk-aversion rather than desire for retaliation.
