Replication Data for: Deprivation, instability, and propensity to attack: how urbanization influences terrorism

The study investigates different ways that urbanization and its tempo influence terrorist activity. In line with other researchers investigating non-linear effects on instability, we suggest that the influence of both of them is non-linear, with quadratic regression being more appropriate for urbanization level impact and interaction between urbanization and its tempo being more appropriate to measure the tempo’s influence. Non-linearity has been confirmed in the robustness section of the paper, in which alternative dependent variable distribution and a greater set of control variables were used. The findings are in line with the ones of other researchers who found that societies, in the process of modernization, demonstrate heavier instability than societies before modernization or those after the modernization period.
