The curse of Covid-19 on foreign direct investment
How did the COVID-19 pandemic impact foreign direct investment (FDI)? Following the outbreak of COVID-19, the overall volume of FDI inflows plummeted. However, COVID-19's adverse effects on FDI in host countries exhibited discernible variability contingent upon the characteristics of domestic institutions, particularly the robustness of property rights within these countries. While host countries with strong property rights experienced a mitigate…
Staying in the shadow or not? Remittances and the Shadow Economy
Objective This study investigates the impact of remittances on the shadow economy and how domestic institutions, particularly property rights, moderate this relationship. Methods We employed a quantitative research method using panel data from developing countries from 1990 to 2018. We adopted both fixed‐effects and instrumental variable approaches to address possible endogeneity concerns between remittances and the shadow economy. Results The re…
The Shadow of Official Development Assistance
s While the shadow economy seems to have both positive and negative effects on a country’s macroeconomy, almost all governments have attempted to control the shadow economy to prevent the loss of tax revenues and the attendant impact on the government budget. Even though official development assistance (ODA) has no formal link with the shadow economy, we often observe a relationship between the two in recipient countries. We argue that ODA can in…
Remaining Hopeful During the Covid-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative effect on children's mental health worldwide. Existing studies suggest that children with greater levels of hope are more likely to be resilient in the face of disaster. While social support at the family and community level is proposed as an important factor in sustaining and fostering hope, the children of underprivileged households in developing countries tend to lack this support. We investigate whethe…
Curse of friendship
How do investors respond when a country participates in an International Monetary Fund (IMF) programme? While there exists some optimism in and around the IMF on the catalytic effect of a Fund programme, empirical research on the catalytic finance reports rather diverse findings; contrary to most theoretical research, empirical studies report both positive and negative effects as well as null effects. This paper revisits the question of whether a…
Domestic terrorism and leader survival, 1970–2014
Recent scholarly efforts to reveal the political effects of transnational terrorism are encouraging. They contribute to our understanding of how terrorism affects the targeted societies. We attempt to extend this line of research by examining the political impact of domestic terrorism. Domestic incidents overwhelmingly outnumber transnational incidents. In addition, the differences between domestic and transnational incidents may produce politica…
Lessons from the Past and Sectoral Priorities in Bilateral Official Development Assistance
As a donor, the Republic of Korea emphasizes five sectors as primary targets for official development assistance—education, health, governance, agriculture, and industry and energy—which contributed to its own rapid economic growth; that is, the country uses its own development experience as a development assistance model. This study examines the determinants of Korean ODA allocation for each of these sectors. We hypothesize that Korea is likely …
Authoritarian legislature, legitimacy strategy, and shadow economy
How do the electoral institutions in authoritarian regimes affect the development of the shadow economy? While understanding the determinants of the shadow economy is important for the study of political economy and development, little is known about the political determinants of the shadow economy. We argue that authoritarian governments reduce the size of the shadow economy through legislatures. Electoral institutions allow regimes to strengthe…
Security Threats and Investment
Do external security threats shy away from foreign investors? While classical political economy theories focusing on property rights protection posit that security threats undercut financial inflows, recent empirical studies report rather mixed evidence. We add to this body of research by investigating the effect of North Korean military provocation on financial inflows in South Korean stock markets. We contend that (i) foreign investors favor co…
What attracts foreign direct investment into autocratic states? Regime time horizon and institutional design
States play a critical role in designing institutions to facilitate international business. We study the effect of autocratic states' time horizons on their attraction of foreign direct investment (FDI) through designing domestic and international institutions. We argue that autocrats with a long time horizon tend to build credible domestic commitment‐institutions that attract foreign investors; however, they are also likely to affect the design …
Autocratic time horizons and the growth effect of foreign direct investment
The positive influence of foreign direct investment (FDI) on host countries' economic growth has been widely debated. Given the mixed empirical evidence, scholars have sought to find the economic preconditions under which FDI spillovers are likely to occur and facilitate economic growth in the host countries. Those preconditions are not exogenously dictated but largely shaped by governments' policy preferences. Particularly in autocracies, an aut…
Gender equality in politics at home and promotion of gender equality in politics abroad
Does gender equality in politics in donor countries affect the allocation to recipient countries of official development assistance in support of gender equality in politics? Since the 1995 Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action and the launch of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals in 2000, gender equality has been underscored as an important development goal for donors. We hypothesize that donors with higher levels of gender equ…
Political institutions and FDI inflows in autocratic countries
Why do some autocratic countries attract more foreign direct investment (FDI) than others? Surprisingly, few studies have explored the considerable variation in FDI inflows to non-democratic countries. In this article, I argue that non-democratic countries with seemingly democratic political institutions, such as elected legislatures, attract more FDI inflow than others. This is because these institutions can (1) reduce the transaction costs of i…
Interstate Rivalry and Interstate Trade
Are countries concerned about the impact on interstate commerce of security externalities? Trade often makes countries vulnerable to the vagaries of the international market and shifts the power relationship between partner countries. The volume of trade, however, has increased enormously over time. We examine how interstate rivalry affects interstate trade. An extensive literature examines the role of interstate security in shaping interstate co…
Audience Costs, Information, and Credible Commitment Problems
Leaders who can accumulate audience costs can send costly signals that may help alleviate information problems associated with crisis escalation. We argue that research examining the effect of audience costs fails to appreciate the theoretical context in which audience costs matter. Audience costs may help alleviate information problems associated with international conflict. However, credible commitment problems are more central than information…
Foreign Direct Investment and Authoritarian Stability
This article examines how foreign direct investment (FDI) affects the likelihood of authoritarian leaders’ political survival. We argue that FDI reduces the likelihood of experiencing political challenges from elites. We present two mechanisms for this claim. First, the host governments of authoritarian regimes can use FDI for long-term private good provision, so that FDI helps them to appease elite dissents and to buy off potential elite challen…
Who Loves Foreign Direct Investment? Labor, Capital, Government Partisanship, and Foreign Direct Investment
The political determinants of foreign direct investment (FDI) have been one of the most popular research topics by students of international political economy. While the scope of the research varies both at the domestic level (covering, for example, regime type, political instability, and property rights) and the international level (exploring, for example, both Bilateral Investment Treaties and Preferential Trade Agreements), existing empirical …
Foreign Direct Investment, Commitment Institutions, and Time Horizon
Why do some autocratic governments do better than others in attracting foreign direct investment (FDI)? The received wisdom holds that democracies enjoy advantages over autocracies when it comes to attracting FDI. But there exist autocratic countries that attract substantial amounts of FDI. For example, during the last two decades, about half of the top 20 non-OECD host countries are nondemocratic. Focusing on the role of commitment institutions …
Korean Bilateral Official Development Assistance to Africa Under Korea's Initiative for Africa's Development
In the past several years, the Republic of Korea—a former least developed country (LDC) and aid recipient that became a donor—joined the “club of emerging donors” to Africa. In March 2006, President Roh Moohyun declared Korea's Initiative for Africa's Development. The initiative puts poverty reduction and socioeconomic development of African countries in the forefront. Using pooled cross-sectional time series data, in this study we examine the de…
