| This paper analyzes the link between political factors and sovereign bond holdings of US investors in 60 countries over the 2003-2013 period. We find that in general US investors hold more bonds in countries with few political constraints on the government. Moreover US investors respond to increased uncertainty around major elections by reducing government bond holdings. These effects are particularly significant in democratic regimes and countries with sound institutions which enable effective implementation of fiscal consolidation measures or economic reforms. |
