| description |
Cross-country panel data are used to
assess the effect of free-trade agreements on flows of
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). Free-trade agreements are
found to have a significant positive effect on FDI flows,
and free-trade agreements are found to matter more for the
smaller members of the agreement. For example, the North
American Free-Trade Agreement's (NAFTA) effect on FDI
flows into Mexico is much larger than its effect on flows
into the United States. These cross country results are used
to assess NAFTA's effect on FDI flows into Mexico.
After controlling for a set of other factors such as an
increase in worldwide FDI flows the trade agreement is found
to generate FDI flows nearly 60 percent higher than they
would have been without the agreement. |
