Abstract: In our empirical study we analyze the impact of political stability on GDP growth forEuropean Union Countries over the period 2000-2017. We ran a panel OLS regression with robust standard errors and we removed panel autocorrelation and heteroskedasticity from our data. We consider a politically stable country when doesn’t face with conflicts, protests, radical changes of regimes, terorismand wars. Political risk is often associated with foreign investments. Foreign investors are not willing to invest in war and conflict countries, in regions where the legislative, executive and judiciary powers can not operate under normal democratic conditions. Our empirical results indicate that there is a positive and a significant relationship between political stability and GDP growth.
