Abstract
We exploit the timing of the London bombings, coinciding with a large‐scale national survey of adolescents, to identify the impact of extremist Islamic terror attacks on the well‐being of adolescent Muslims. Our analysis reveals interesting gender differences. We find evidence of a decline in the happiness of Muslim teenage girls after the bombings, which is also accompanied by a rise in expectations of facing discrimination in the labour market. These findings are robust to several falsification tests. On the other hand, we fail to uncover compelling evidence of any impact of the bombings on Muslim teenage boys.
