Abstract
We argue that international trade is a significant conduit of foreign political uncertainty into U.S. markets. We find that industries that export considerable shares of their output to countries with high political risk or countries that hold national elections in a given year experience suboptimal investment efficiency and lower growth in productivity. Our results are not driven by economic risk, and they remain robust when we account for potential endogeneity of export flows.
