Abstract

This paper investigates the extent to which political risk affects exporter-financed trade transactions. Using industry-level trade finance data from Turkey, we show that export transactions executed under open-account terms decrease with the political risk in the export markets. Further, we also document that the effect of political risk on trade finance is disproportionately higher for industries that export complex products. This paper contributes to the literature by examining how political risk interacts with product complexity to influence exporters’ trade finance decisions—an effect that has been previously overlooked in empirical studies.
