FRIAS will take up the topic of “FEAR” within the format of its bi-weekly Lunch Lectures, which are open to students, fellows and a larger interested audience.
Fear is not a concept typically used in economics. This talk seeks to conceptualize the term ‘Fear’ in the economic context. To this end, reactions of people to perceived terror threats are discussed: It is shown how individuals change their behaviour in the market place, in the political arena, notably in their voting behaviour, and in judging fellow citizens of a different group in response to perceived terror threats or actual terror attacks.
