Abstract
We test two hypothesis with two different indicators of political risk about the influence political uncertainty has on investments in Turkey. The first hypothesis is that foreign firms invest more. The second is that foreign firms also invest more under a scenario of increasing political risk. We only find support for the first hypothesis, while for the second results show that it is only foreign owned firms in Turkey that experience higher investment adjustment cost due to political risk. The results are robust to endogeneity, different indicators of political risk and different measures of foreign capital participation.
