Popis: This study explores the impact of terrorist attacks on the European and US stocks markets after the upsurge of attacks that started in November 2015 in Paris. Applying the methodology developed in Eldor and Melnick (2004), we find that these terrorist attacks had a significant impact in the US market, but they did not have a significant direct impact in the European markets. Our interpretation of this finding is that the US market is more efficient in capturing directly the relevant information conveyed by terrorist attacks.
