چکیده
The Los Angeles metropolitan region is a prime target for a terrorist attack. There are many specific targets: the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), downtown high-rises, its theme parks, its freeways, and its ports, among many others.

In this paper, we estimate the economic impacts of an attack on the Los Angeles-Long Beach Twin Ports.
