Abstract: New evidence shows that top U.S. corporations are surprisingly unfamiliar with – and/or lack confidence in – bilateral investment treaties that are designed to benefit their investments in other countries. To understand whether or not such treaties "work", it is necessary to find out how and why they do, or do not, form part of firms' investment decision-making.
