The Effects of Investment Treaties and Trade Agreements on FDI: The Case of Serbia
Eastern European Economics. 2024. P. 1–27.
This study explores the effects of Bilateral Investment Treaties (BIT) and Regional Trade Agreements (RTA) on foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows into Serbia, utilizing panel data for 2010–2021. The results indicate that both BIT and RTA independently exert positive impacts on Serbia’s inward FDI. Also, the interaction effects between BIT and RTA dummies and export/import variables on inward FDI are positive. This suggests that the implementation of BITs and/or RTAs fosters a complementary relationship between trade and FDI in Serbia as the predominant type of FDIs from partner states with which Serbia shares BITs and/or RTAs is vertical and export-platform rather than horizontal.

This inequality is caused by differences in the regions’ economic characteristics, as well as by varying effectiveness of regional policies to attract FDI. The assessment of a region’s potential to attract FDI could serve as a guide for analysing the ...

Why does aggregate foreign direct investment (FDI) fall with distance? We conjecture that high trade costs adversely affect FDI entry decisions in a dynamic setting, even when controlling for previous export experience in foreign markets. We test this hypothesis using Japanese firm-level data for the period of 1995–2018 and find that the probability of FDI ...
