means for inputting quantifications for categories of macro political risks into a said data processing system;
means for inputting quantifications of conditional probabilities for each project specific political risk event into said data processing system;
means for inputting changes to said project economic value parameters upon occurrence of risk events; and
means for calculating at least one risked project value metric for at least one instance of possible scenarios based upon a predetermined relationship of said macro political risks and said project specific political event risks with one or more project economic value parameters.

Abstract
A method and system which deal with the evaluation of the impact of political risk on forecast and value of a project. Key macro political risks are identified and quantified. Project specific political risk events that can result from changes in macro political uncertainties are identified and the probabilities quantified. The relationship of the macro political risks and project specific political risk events are defined. The key project economic parameters susceptible to political uncertainties are identified and the threshold or changes in economic parameters upon the occurrence of a risk event are quantified. The data is assembled into a computer system and a Monte Carlo analysis can be preformed to forecast the probable value of the project taking into account potential political risks.
