Investor-state dispute settlement : are arbitrators biased in favor of claimants?

Nunnenkamp, Peter - 2017

Self-interested and biased arbitrators are often held responsible for the legitimacy crisis of investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS). Based on UNCTAD's database on ISDS since the late 1990s, we find no compelling evidence that arbitrators are systematically biased. Many disputes are handled...

By tracking the changes in different margins of Theil indices during the period 1995-2015, we re-consider the question of whether bilateral and multilateral donors have targeted aid increasingly to particularly needy recipient countries with relatively good governance in order to improve the...

How global is FDI? : evidence from the analysis of Theil indices

Bickenbach, Frank; Liu, Wan-hsin; Nunnenkamp, Peter - 2017
