“…While firms have little or no influence on the sources of exogenous risk, they might have some control on the sources of endogenous risk, individually or in association with other firms, by developing political capabilities such as negotiation and lobbying skills, personal ties and connections with politicians, campaign contributions, political coalitions, etc. (Hillman and Hitt, 1999;Henisz, 2003;Hillman et al, 2004;Jiménez, 2010;Liou et al, 2021). This is particularly the case in highly regulated sectors such as the infrastructure sectors (García-Canal and Guillén, 2008;Holburn and Zelner, 2010;Jiménez et al, 2014;Fern andez-Méndez et al, 2015) and the natural resources sector (Lupton et al, 2021), where given the salient policy issues under administrative consideration, firms tend to get involved in political actions (Buchholz, 1990;Vogel, 1996;Bonardi and Keim, 2005).…”
