Country Risk

Colin White and Miao Fan

Chapter 9 in Risk and Foreign Direct Investment, 2006, pp 146-167 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter examines the nature of country risk as a type of systematic risk which, like industry risk, extends beyond a single enterprise, in this case to the enterprises which operate within the jurisdiction of a particular country. National frontiers are among the most clearly demarcated boundaries which exist in the economic and political world. No part of the world is outside a national jurisdiction. It is obvious who holds sovereignty and is responsible for the law and policies which operate in a particular country. Risk arises from unanticipated change in such policies. The aim of this chapter is to establish a template for a measure of generic country risk.
