Abstract

In this thesis, we test the hypothesis that after terrorist attacks happened in a country, people become more anti-immigration. In the end, we have to conclude that this is not the case, at least not for most of the tests we do, but nevertheless, we also some evidence that there might be some trueness in the idea. So, that it would be possible that terrorist attack lead people to become more anti-immigration depending on how the variable expressing the terrorist attacks is defined.
