Touted as an important commitment device that attracts foreign investors, the number of bilateral investment treaties (BITs) ratified by developing countries has grown dramatically. Hallward-Driemeier tests empirically whether BITs have actually had an important role in increasing the foreign direct investment (FDI) flows to signatory countries. While half of OECD FDI into developing countries by 2000 was covered by a BIT, this increase is accounted for by additional country pairs entering into agreements rather than signatory hosts gaining significant additional FDI. The results also indicate that such treaties act more as complements than as substitutes for good institutional quality and local property rights, the rationale often cited by developing countries for ratifying BITs. The relevance of these findings is heightened not only by the proliferation of such treaties, but by recent high profile legal cases. These cases show that the rights given to foreign investors may not only exceed those enjoyed by domestic investors, but expose policymakers to potentially large-scale liabilities and curtail the feasibility of different reform options. Formalizing relationships and protecting against dynamic inconsistency problems are still important, but the results should caution policymakers to look closely at the terms of agreements.This paper - a product of Investment Climate, Development Research Group - is part of a larger effort in the group to understand the determinants of productive investment.

Over the past twenty years, foreign direct investments have spurred widespread liberalization of the foreign direct investment (FDI) regulatory framework. By opening up to foreign investors and encouraging FDI, which could result in increased capital and market access, many countries have improved the operational conditions for foreign affiliates and strengthened standards of treatment and protection. By assuring investors that their investment will be legally protected with closed bilateral investment treaties (BITs) and double taxation treaties (DTTs), this in turn creates greater interest in FDI.

This paper studies the effects of the strength of bilateral investment treaties (BITs) on foreign direct investment (FDI) activity. We develop an index for the strength of international dispute settlement provisions included in BITs in order to examine the role the content of BITs plays in attracting FDI. To this end, we make use of data from UNCTAD's International Investment Agreement Mapping Project and measure the provision strength of 2,571 BITs. Using panel data of bilateral and total FDI inflows and inward FDI stocks, we study the effect of BITs on FDI. Our main finding indicates that stronger international dispute settlement provisions in BITs are indeed associated with positive effects on FDI activity.

The effect on developing countries of the arrival of foreign direct investment (FDI) has been a subject of controversy for decades in the development community. The debate over the relationship between FDI in developing countries and the progress of these countries towards human development is an ongoing and often heated one. Adopting an interdisciplinary perspective combining insights from international investment law, human rights law and economics, this book offers an original contribution to the debate. It explores how improvements ...

This book provides an overview of international investment policy and policy-making, drawing upon perspectives from law, economics, international business, and political science. International investment is a complex phenomenon with significant effects worldwide. Developing effective policies and strategies to attract investment in sufficient quantities and marshal it to contribute to sustainable development is a critical challenge for governments at all levels. This book’s interdisciplinary approach provides fresh insights into the mix of policy options available to governments seeking investment to support their country’s (or region’s) development. As well as identifying ways to effectively design, implement, and assess policies to attract foreign investment, it explores how to manage foreign investment’s effects. Various dimensions of international investment policy are discussed, including benefits and costs (economic, environmental, social, and political) of foreign investment, the significance of global value chains, state-owned enterprises and sovereign wealth funds, and the role of tax policy, investment promotion, and policy advocacy, location branding, investment treaties, and national security considerations. Through its contributions to a new interdisciplinary understanding of international investment policy-making, this book will benefit students and scholars working in areas such as international business, international economic law, international economics, development economics, international development, and international political economy as well as being a valuable resource for policy-makers.

Bilateral Investment Treaties: History, Policy, and Interpretation organizes, summarizes and comments upon the arbitral awards interpreting and applying BIT provisions. Policymakers and practitioners will find a thorough introduction to the operation of the BITs, including the principal arguments and case authorities on both sides of the major issues in international investment law. The book is intended to be a single-volume reference covering every important development in the 50 years of BIT programs worldwide, from 1959 until 2009. Author Kenneth Vandevelde argues that the primary purpose of the BITs is to promote the application of the rule of law to foreign investment, while a secondary purpose is to create a liberal investment regime. He further argues that BITs are based on six core principles: reasonableness, security, nondiscrimination, access, transparency and due process. The book explains each of these principles and analyzes the major BIT provisions based on them. Vandevelde addresses the host of complex questions that BITs engender: Do bilateral investment treaties attract foreign investment or otherwise contribute to economic development? Do BITs limit host state regulatory discretion too much? Why should countries continue to conclude BITs? What is meant by BIT guarantees of "fair and equitable treatment" and "full protection and security"? What is the scope of the BIT provision for most-favored-nation treatment? The book's expert analysis of these questions makes it useful to policy makers in the area of international economic relations, attorneys representing multinational companies, and anyone interested in the process of economic globalization.

The study is concerned with answering a question: what is the role of international investment agreements (IIAs) in attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) into developing countries? It reviews the literature on the impact of IIAs on the size of FDI into developing countries to the extent, to which such literature exists. This is the case for bilateral investment treaties (BITs) and regional integration agreements, but less so for bilateral free trade agreements (FTAs), nowadays including also investment provisions. In the absence of the literature the study relies on the conceptual discussion of possible impacts. Needless to say the literature, especially that on the impact of BITs on FDI, is not only far from reaching definite conclusions but also has come to conflicting findings. The study offers an own assessment of these findings and of the likely impact of IIAs on FDI. As regards the impact of BITs, the study concludes that there is evidence that BITs have played a role in a number of individual FDI projects, thus increasing FDI, but apparently these increases have not been large enough to be captured in aggregated flows of FDI used in most econometric studies. But in their rather narrow responsibilities, BITs constitute one of the most solid, although quite small, components of a coherent, transparent, predictable and stable investment framework of developing countries. Other agreements, and notably regional integration agreements, including investment and trade provisions, lead to new FDI. The impact is more evident in the case of FDI from outside of the economic grouping. EIIAs can also stimulate some intra-regional FDI. The latter impact can be strong when EIIA membership includes both developed and developing or transition countries.

The impact of heterogeneous Bilateral Investment Treaties on FDI inflows to a country has been taken into consideration in the world. However, in our perception, only until Bellak and Chaisse (2011), the solution for a BIT index construction could be successfully dealt with. Furthermore, for such a developing country as Vietnam, we couldn't find any previous research regarding this topic. To narrow the gap, we do build up our BIT index for Vietnam basing on the methodology raised by Bellak and Chaisse (2011) for 57 BITs with collected contents. Furthermore, applying Random-effect technique for panel data from 1995 to 2012, we strongly support the positive effect of heterogeneous BITs on FDI inflows to Vietnam. It means signing BIT does help Vietnam to attract more FDI and more favorable BITs lead to further FDI inflows into the country. These results are not only supported by the whole sample but also all, new and old members sample.The commitment and signaling effect of BITs could attribute to the above positive results. Besides the above general effect, as considering the separate impact of each in our 11 main articles, we find out that broadening Definition of Investment, broadening by moving from Admission to Establishment and including National Treatment in BITs give more impetus for investors to carry out FDI flows in Vietnam. Besides, our results also stress on the role of Political Stability and Absence of Violence, Regulatory Quality and Control of Corruption as essential factors of attracting FDI.
