Abstract
This paper tries to reconcile the observed fact that suicide-terrorists have a relatively
high education level with rationality. It brings out the conditions under which potential
students choose to acquire some education in a rational-choice model where this yields
a non-zero probability of blowing up the resulting human capital in a terrorist attack. The
comparative-statics of the rational expectations equilibrium of this model demonstrate how
economic development, on the one hand, and repression, on the other hand, might reduce
terrorism under some parameter restrictions.
