Abstract

This paper investigates the selection effects on the population composition of terrorist attacks in the post-World War II region of South Tyrol, a predominantly German-speaking region of Italy. Using archival information on the location and casualties of 337 attacks across time and space, I examine the evolution of migration outflows and of the skill composition in the labor market. My results indicate a strong selection after attacks with casualties among civilians.
