The impact of institutional quality on foreign direct investment inflows: evidence for developed and developing countries (2018, background): “(Gani, 2007; Globerman & Shapiro, 2002; Globerman, Shapiro, & Tang, 2004; La Porta, Lopez-de-Silanes, Shleifer, & Vishny, 1998; The World Bank Group, 2002), whereas an environment of weak governance cannot protect the investments (Globerman & Shapiro, 2003).”
Relationship between Institutional Factors and FDI Flows in Developing Countries: New Evidence from Dynamic Panel Estimation (2017, background): “Gastanaga et al. (1998) find that low levels of corruption, nationalization risk, and much better contract enforcement lead to an increase in FDI flows. Asiedu (2006) shows that inefficient institutions such as corruption, a lack of the rule of law, and political instability deter FDI inflows.”
What determines Chinese outward FDI (2012, background): “Most recent empirical studies of total FDI flows also document a positive relationship to host country institutions (Asiedu, 2006; Harms and Ursprung, 2002; Wei, 2000; Globerman and Shapiro, 2002; Gani, 2007).”
Better the Devil You Know? Chinese Foreign Direct Investment in Africa (2011, background): “A number of empirical studies suggest that total FDI flows depend positively on host country institutions, generally (Gani, 2007; Globerman & Shapiro, 2002; Harms & Ursprung, 2002; Wei, 2000) and also specifically for African countries (Asiedu, 2006).”
