We examine how exporters and foreign direct investors evaluate the relative importance of political risk factors. We provide a rationale for exporters to evaluate political risk factors for FDI and for foreign direct investors to evaluate political risk factors for exporting. Survey data were collected from Canadian exporters and foreign direct investors and capture the distinctive nature of salient factors for exporting and FDI. We offer unique insights on the evolutionary character of political risk that are of practical value for both exporting and FDI.engExportingFDIInternationalization process of firmsPolitical risk assessmentevaluation di risque politiqueexportationForeign investmentsExportsCapitalists & financiersInvestmentsPolitical riskjournal article10.11575/PRISM/34124
