Geopolitical Risk in Emerging Economies

Dear Colleagues,

Geopolitics in energy markets, climate change, and economic crisis are major challenges for sustainable global economic balance. Scholars try to offer new measures to better understand sustainable economic growth through the activities of economic agents. The recent economic crisis and the lingering global climate change have increased uncertainty in markets, with serious consequences to growth, unemployment, and social welfare of the world economy.

This special issue aims to publish high-quality research papers on the inter-disciplinary field of geopolitical risk in emerging economies analyzing the asymmetric nature of shocks in the economy and their implications on the business, energy, tourism, and financial system. Further, this issue investigates the dependence structure among business cycles and financial asset classes such as stocks, commodities, fintech, and green investments.
