Federal Reserve Board, 2018
Was ist drin?
Geopolitical risk is everywhere in the global economy, but how to measure it?
Recommendation
Business leaders, investors and monetary officials consider a variety of factors when developing their strategies. But it is geopolitical risk (GPR) that presents the greatest concern for these stakeholders, and a lack of measurement capacity and accuracy can stymie investment and trade. Economists Dario Caldara and Matteo Iacoviello have built an index that assesses the levels of GPR over time and explains how these perceived risks affect business and government decision making. getAbstract recommends this substantive report to executives, investors and policy experts for its detailed examination of a strategically significant hazard.
