Abstract
Un estudio publicado por la Cátedra de Economía del Terrorismo revela que las bombas de Boston tuvieron un impacto significativo sobre las bolsas mundiales. El estudio destaca que ese impacto fue transitorio, de manera que los mercados se recuperaron en el mismo día del atentado. Asimismo, se muestra que el falso anuncio de The Associated Press, según el cual el presidente de los Estados Unidos, Barack Obama, había sido herido en un atentado a la Casa Blanca, provocó una caída del índice Dow Jones similar a la del atentado de Boston. Los autores del estudio consideran que ello abre nuevas incógnitas sobre las posibilidades del ciberterrorismo para las organizaciones terroristas.
