Summary: | The aim of this paper is to investigate impact of political terrorism on GDP for
Eurasia region countries by using spatial statistics in the period of 1996-2013. For
this purpose, quantile maps, Moran’s Scotterplots, LISA (Local Indicators of Spatial
Association) statistics are performed. We firstly found that there are the negative
impacts of political terrorism on GDP. Secondly, countries as Iceland, Ireland, UK,
Portugal, Spain, Norway, Sweden, Italy, Austria, Czech Rep., Denmark, Slovenia,
Belgium, France, Germany, Luxemburg, Switzerland, Finland, and Netherland are
determined as the strongest positive attraction centers in all Europe countries.
Thirdly, Asian countries as India, Uzbekistan, Afghanistan, Kyrgyzstan, Nepal,
Tajikistan, Bangladesh and Myanmar are obtained as the strongest negative
attraction centers for Asia. The rest of countries in Asia have been negatively
affected by these negative attraction centers. Finally, for the big part of Asia
(exclude countries as Japan, South Korea) regions, political terrorism is one of the
biggest factors of poorness and weakness of per capita GDP |
