題名: | Improving Reputation BIT by BIT: Bilateral Investment Treaties and Foreign Accountability | 作者: | 李佳怡 Lee, Chia-yi Johnston, Noel P. |

Building on the existing literature, this article argues that BITs can change investors’ perceptions and the corresponding investment they make because signing BITs signals the involvement of another powerful country that is able to compel the host government to comply. This implies that the effect of BITs is not constant across signatory countries: BITs are more effective when they are signed with rich and influential countries. Using monadic and dyadic FDI data, this article finds that BITs signed with powerful countries (defined as the top six largest economies) lead to an increase in FDI inflows (both from these signatory countries and from other countries). BITs signed with other countries, despite in a larger quantity, have little influence on FDI inflows. | 關聯: | International Interactions, Vol.42, No.3, pp.429-451 | 資料類型: | article | DOI: | https://doi.org/10.1080/03050629.2016.1128429 |
