9/11 and The Macroeconomy

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses how the September 11 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center has impacted the world economies. According to the paper, the effect of 9/11 on the macroeconomy has been tremendous, and its full effects still have not been felt. The paper goes on to say that as countries resolve their feuds and try to put themselves back together, more economic changes will be felt.

From the Paper:

"Not only have occupants of affected countries fled or tried to flee their ravaged areas, but any trade that was being done in those areas has been disrupted or destroyed. Refugees from Iraq and other affected countries have had borders closed against them and have been turned back to return to their ravaged cities. In the countryside, crops have not been grown. In the towns, production in plants has stopped as laborers have been killed, injured or have fled. Clients of businesses have been unable or afraid to trade with their suppliers, and business areas of major cities (and minor towns) have been destroyed or damaged."
