| Title | The Effects of the November 2015 Paris Attacks on Labor Market Outcomes of Arabs and Muslims in the United States |
| Summary | This thesis studies the impact of the November 2015 Paris attacks on the labor market outcomes of Arabs and Muslims living in the United States. With a difference-in-differences approach, I use the Current Population Survey’s monthly outgoing rotation group files and find that hours worked for Arab and Muslim men decreased by at least 1.08 and 1.11 hours when compared to other immigrants and US-born individuals classified as “Whites”, respectively. Employment rates for Arab men also decreased by 2% due to the attacks when compared to other immigrants and US-born individuals of any race. Furthermore, there is evidence that in the aftermath of the attacks, Muslims and Arabs shifted from higher paying industries and occupations to ones with lower pay. |
