Abstract

This paper estimates the effect of a measure of political risk on equity investment flows to developing countries. Using a panel data set that includes a larger number of low-income countries than previous studies, it is found that political risk is an important determinant of the sum of foreign direct investment and portfolio equity investment per capita.
