Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Scholars have often sought to understand the impact of political risk on financial markets. Certain times, financial markets seem to be isolated from political events, while at other times, financial markets seems to overshoot any such event. With so much written on this topic, this Special Issue seeks new and unique approaches to help us understand how financial markets respond to political risk.
Political risks can cover a range of issues, including institutional concerns, such as democracy, corruption, government stability, and conflict. Political concerns can also include company risks, such as governance, environmental, and organizational risks. Papers may cover equity, debt, and various specific types of assets (e.g., gold, crypto currencies, etc.) We are also interested in papers that explore how changes in political institutions impact financial events, such as mergers and acquisitions, initial public offerings, or other events. Studies can cover markets in specific countries, regions, or types of countries.
