- W3200810681 abstract "My dissertation consists of three essays on thepolitical economy of foreign investments and internationalbusiness. The first essay investigates the relationship between acountry’s level of democracy and its ability to attract foreigndirect investment (FDI). According to a well-established finding inthe literature, democratic countries can attract more FDI. However,I show that this positive association between democracy and FDIdisappears once I control for a selection bias in which FDI tendsto come from democratic countries in the first place. I then showthat it is not democracy by itself but the level of politicalsimilarity between any two countries that affects their FDI flow.In other words, democracy does not attract FDI, politicalsimilarity does. The second essay looks into how well countriesabsorb foreign investments after they receive those investments. Ifind that FDI contributes less to economic growth in moredemocratic countries. This result survives a long series ofrobustness checks, and its substantive effect is considerablylarger than those of several other factors that affect growth,including market size, trade openness, development level, andinflation. While the first two essays are empirical in nature andprimarily deal with politics at the macro level (i.e., betweencountries), the third essay is a theoretical study ofthe strategicinteraction between micro-level actors (i.e., firms, activistgroups) and their governments. It is, to my knowledge, the firstgame-theoretic model of private politics–a relatively youngfield–that focuses on the international dimension. I find thatactivist campaigns in democratic and nondemocratic countries havedifferent characteristics due to the nature of the competitionbetween firms and activist groups. Counterintuitively, I find thateven if governments have pure economic motives–i.e., they only careabout gaining investments for their countries–there still does notexist a “race to the bottom” in equilibrium, as commonly expected.Finally, I propose a novel answer to the perennial question inpolitical science of why there is so “little” lobbying money inpolitics, which differs from previous explanations in that mine isthe first one that is based on a competitiondynamic." @default.
