Abstract
Despite the burgeoning literature on the association of the flow of information and terrorism, it has been difficult to establish a convincing relationship between the information and communications technology and terrorism (See Deibert and Stein 2002; Weimann 2004; Stenersen 2008; Jacobson 2010; Theohary 2011). Using data for 199 countries from 1970 to 2014, Mahmood and Jetter (2020) find that the level of communications technology (CT) and terrorism follow inverted U shape, by terrorism first being more attractive with a rise CT, but then decreases. The authors poses predictions on terrorism peaking at the intermediate level of CT and corresponding magnitudes are sizable. This paper replicates the authors findings and provide modest extensions, examining the underlying assumptions on data, methodology, and theory.
