abstract: "<p>This dataset facilitates an analysis of the impact of the recent Israel-Hamas conflict on the stock market performance of U.S. defense companies, as measured by the returns of defense-sector Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs). The conflict is quantified using variables such as a binary "attack" indicator, casualty counts, and the intensity of Google search activity related to the war. Additionally, the dataset incorporates a comprehensive set of control variables, including interest rates, exchange rates, oil prices, inflation rates, and factors related to the Ukraine conflict, ensuring a robust framework for evaluating the effects of this geopolitical event.</p>"
