Political risks in international finance
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Political regime change creates a number of financial risks for international investors. One is sovereign risk, or the possibility that a government may fail to repay outstanding debts. A second is fiscal risk, defined as uncertainty about prospects for government revenue and excessive vulnerability to macroeconomic shocks. Finally, there is the risk that a newly-elected government will dramatically revise the economic policies of its predecessor. This thesis comprises three essays examining these risks in two different political contexts: British decolonization during the mid-twentieth century, and the present-day United States.
