Tax Treaties and Foreign Direct Investment: Potential versus Performance

Asia-Pacific Financial Markets, 2004, vol. 11, issue 6, pages 775-802

Abstract: Bilateral tax treaties are an important method of international tax cooperation. I survey the existing literature on these agreements, highlighting the differences between the standard view that treaties increase foreign direct investment and the empirical evidence that finds little support for this. I also discuss the key differences in treaty formation between developed countries relative to that between developed and developing nations. Copyright Kluwer Academic Publishers 2004
