Description To increase inward foreign direct investment (FDI), policy makers increasingly
resort to the ratification of double taxation treaties (DTTs). However, the effectiveness
of DTTs in inducing higher FDI is still open to debate, as the empirical evidence
of existing studies is anything but conclusive. In contrast to earlier approaches, we
use a largely unpublished dataset on bilateral FDI stocks, covering a much larger
and more representative sample of host and source countries. Controlling for standard
determinants of FDI and employing various econometric specifications, our results
indicate that DTTs do lead to higher FDI stocks and that the effects are substantively
important as well.
