Political Risk Management in Financial Markets

Dear Colleagues,

The primary focus of this Special Issue, "Political Risk Management in Financial Markets", in the Journal of Risk and Financial Management (JFRM), is on theoretical and empirical studies that will enrich the literature on political risk management within financial markets. The aim of this Special Issue is to contribute to the advances in the theoretical and empirical understanding of how political factors (e.g. elections, policy uncertainty, and regulation) influence asset prices. We seek papers that provide valuable insights and practical implications for stakeholders, policymakers, and the public, fostering a deeper comprehension of the complexities associated with political risk in financial markets.

We welcome submissions from various disciplines, emphasizing high-quality analytical, theoretical, and empirical contributions in the following major areas: political risk assessment and measurement, the impact of political events on financial markets, strategies for managing political risk, interactions between political and economic factors, government policies and asset prices, international political risk and cross-border investments, and the role of political institutions in shaping financial markets. Authors are encouraged to explore innovative perspectives and methodologies that enhance our understanding of the intricate dynamics between politics and financial markets.
