Abstract:
The article develops a comparative institutionalist framework for examining how law enforcement reforms leading to changes in competition policy regimes attract FDI to host countries, and how this relationship is governed by interactions between key formal and informal institutions. We are revisiting the theory of FDI by integrating findings from the economics of competition policy with the most recent debate about how institutions matter to international business. The results show that the effectiveness of competition policy enforcement is a critical factor in attracting FDI, but only in host countries characterized by an institutional configuration that combines a lack of trust with a good regulatory and institutional environment.
