Many institutional, economic, and social factors have been documented as the possible causes of terrorism in the related literature. This research explores the reciprocal interaction between human development, main macroeconomic variables of real GDP per capita, unemployment, youth unemployment, and inflation and terrorism in Middle East and North African countries over the 2005-2019 period through causality analysis with cross-sectional dependence and heterogeneity. The causality analysis discovered a reciprocal interaction between human development, unemployment, youth unemployment, inflation and terrorism and a significant causality from real GDP per capita to the terrorism. <br /> </p>}, number={1}, publisher={Bitlis Eren Üniversitesi}
