Tax rate and tax base competition for foreign direct investment
Egger, Peter; Raff, Horst - 2011
This paper argues that the large reduction in corporate tax rates and only gradual widening of tax bases in many countries over the last decades are consistent with tougher international competition for foreign direct investment (FDI). To make this point we develop a model in which governments...

Are stricter investment rules contagious? : host country competition for foreign direct investment through international agreements
Neumayer, Eric; Nunnenkamp, Peter; Roy, Martin - 2014
We argue that the trend toward international investment agreements (IIAs) with stricter investment rules is driven by competitive diffusion, namely defensive moves of developing countries concerned about foreign direct investment (FDI) diversion in favor of competing host countries. Accounting...

More stringent BITs, less ambiguous effects on FDI? : Not a Bit!
Berger, Axel; Busse, Matthias; Nunnenkamp, Peter; Roy, … - 2010
We focus on investor-state dispute settlement provisions contained in various, though far from all, bilateral investment treaties as a possible determinant of BIT-related effects on bilateral FDI flows. Our estimation results prove to be sensitive to the specification of these provisions as well...

Do trade and investment agreements lead to more FDI? : Accounting for key provisions inside the black box
Berger, Axel; Busse, Matthias; Nunnenkamp, Peter; Roy, … - 2010
The previous literature provides a highly ambiguous picture on the impact of trade and investment agreements on FDI. Most empirical studies ignore the actual content of BITs and RTAs, treating them as "black boxes", despite the diversity of investment provisions constituting the essence of these...

Sosa Andrés, Maximiliano; Nunnenkamp, Peter; Busse, … - 2012
Non-traditional source countries of FDI play an increasingly important role, notably in developing host countries. This raises the question of whether the determinants of FDI differ systematically between traditional and non-traditional source countries. We perform Logit and Poisson Pseudo...

Financial market development in host and source countries and its effects on bilateral FDI
Donaubauer, Julian; Neumayer, Eric; Nunnenkamp, Peter - 2016
We estimate gravity-type models to assess the effects of financial market development in the host and source countries on bilateral FDI stocks. We address potential reverse causality, inter alia by performing instrumental variable estimations and restricting the sample to observations where...

Democracies cooperate more : even where it threatens to bite?
Hühne, Philipp; Meyer, Birgit; Nunnenkamp, Peter; Roy, … - 2015
Estimating two-step selection models, we find that more democratic governments are more likely to conclude preferential trade agreements (PTAs) and to agree to stricter investment provisions related to pre-establishment national treatment and investor-state dispute settlement in PTAs. This is...
