What Our Clients Are Saying About Us

Professor Kwabena Kesse

ICRG ‘is forward-looking and reflects political risk as opposed to an aggregate or broad measure of country risk which also incorporates macro-economic factors.’ ‘[T]here is ample evidence in the literature that it correctly reflects that adverse effects of political risk on investment values across countries.’

‘Sovereign Risk Channels and Exchange Rates,’ Quarterly Journal of Finance and Accounting, 2017.

Luther (Trey) Denton, PhD

Access to historical data, combined with fact-based short and long-term predictions of regime type and stability, gives students the ability to examine risk by looking both back and forward. This data is a treasure for the student as well as the seasoned practitioner.
