We compute the one-loop renormalization of the Planck mass for type II stringtheories compactified to four dimensions on symmetric orbifolds that preserve${\cal N}=2$ supersymmetry. Depending on the orbifold, the effect can be aslarge as to compete with the standard tree-level value.Comment: 9 pages, reference added, counting of supersymmetries correcte
