	abstract={We investigate the effect of anti-immigration attitudes on immigration plans to Europe. We
propose a new instrument for attitudes toward immigration, namely, the number of country nationals
killed in terrorist attacks taking place outside of Europe. Our first-stage results confirm
that such terrorist attacks increase negative attitudes to immigration in the origin country of the
victims. Our second-stage results then show that this higher hostility toward migrants decreases
the attractiveness of the country for prospective immigrants.},
