India initiated the unilateral mass termination of bilateral investment treaties (BIT termination) in 2016. We consider it a natural experiment to clarify the issue of whether BITs attract foreign direct investment (FDI) to a developing country. We evaluate the effect of BIT termination on the FDI inflows using the double and triple difference approaches (DD and DDD) and the synthetic control (SCM) methods. Our study finds that BIT termination led to a significant decrease in FDI inflows from the country with which India terminated the agreement. Thus, the study confirms that BIT is an essential mechanism for attracting FDI.

Agglomeration policy has long been a dominant paradigm in spatial development, premised on the assumption that large, integrated city-regions drive national economic growth through productivity, innovation, and global integration. This paper examines how this paradigm is reworked under conditions of polycrisis, a durable state in which economic, geopolitical, and institutional shocks interact and reinforce one ...

90% of Japan's oil imports. For many years, Japan has sought to build friendly relations
with all countries in the region, often having to balance its own interests with its strategic
alignment with the United States, its only military and political ally. The seminar ...

identifying liberalism as the ideological “root” of contemporary

This paper proposes Covariate-Balanced Weighted Stacked Difference-in-Differences (CBWSDID), a design-based extension of weighted stacked DID for settings in which untreated trends may be conditionally rather than unconditionally parallel. The estimator separates within-subexperiment design adjustment from across-subexperiment aggregation: matching or weighting improves treated-control comparability within each stacked subexperiment, while the corrective stacked weights of Wing et ...
