Economic Considerations and Public Support for Environment Policy in East and Southeast Asia
The “environment–economy trade-off” is a key question in research on public opinion on environmental policies. While evidence from Western economies suggests that individuals are more supportive of environmental initiatives when the macroeconomic situation is favorable, little is known about how environmental policy preferences are shaped by economic factors in East and Southeast Asian countries. Using a survey dataset consisting of 12 countries …

Women’s descriptive representation and support for the inclusion of gender-related provisions in trade agreements
Recent regional trade agreements (RTAs) tend to link gender and trade issues through gender-related provisions. This pattern is mostly observed in RTAs formed between global North and South countries. Despite a growing interest in gender-related provisions among countries, there have not been systematic studies on the formation of RTAs with these instruments. Our study underscores women’s descriptive representation. Female representatives care mo…
Not risky business? Nationalism and foreign direct investment
Despite growing research on nationalism and its impact in international relations, little work has been done on how the rise of nationalism in host countries influences foreign direct investment (FDI), a key driver for promoting economic growth. We hypothesize that multinational corporations are less likely to enter host countries with high nationalism, due to the multiple risks that high nationalism entails, such as nationalist boycotts and chan…
Housing Prices and Government Approval
In this article, we argue that rising housing prices increase voter approval of incumbent governments because such a rise increases personal wealth, which leads to greater voter satisfaction. This effect is strongest under right-wing governments because those who benefit from rising prices—homeowners—are more likely to be right-leaning. Non-homeowners, who are more likely to vote for left-leaning parties, will view rising housing prices as a disa…
Does Government Partisanship Influence Multinational Corporations’ Tax Payments in the United States
Objective Scholars have made conflicting predictions as to whether partisan politics influences taxes paid by multinational corporations (MNCs). The current study tests this question by examining the relationship between the partisan composition of government and tax rates that MNCs paid to their home country, the United States, using firm‐level data on financial information from the U.S. Fortune 1000 for the period 1986–2010. Methods I employ a …
Do Women Favor Foreign Direct Investment
Although some studies show that women are more likely to oppose free trade than men, others demonstrate that economic globalization empowers women. Given this paradox, we examine whether gender shapes individual preferences with respect to foreign direct investment (FDI) in developing countries. We hypothesize that women do not disfavor FDI more than men because multinational corporations (MNCs) bring more jobs for women, provide better working c…
Why do countries change the taxation of foreign-source income of multinational firms
Why do some countries continue to tax income that multinational firms create overseas, even as other countries increasingly adopt a system that only taxes income generated within the country? I argue that this phenomenon reflects an interaction between trade openness and the number of veto players. Increasing trade openness incentivizes governments to move to a territorial tax system, because firms that operate across borders want to avoid variou…
Labor Market Institutions and Outward Foreign Direct Investment in OECD Countries
Concern among voters in the United States and elsewhere about jobs moving overseas has spurred significant research into outward foreign direct investment (OFDI), which can depress employment and economic growth. Recent research shows that labor market institutions play a prominent role in influencing inward foreign direct investment in developed economies, but little is known about how such institutions influence OFDI. We argue that increasing l…
Partisanship, Tax Policy, and Corporate Profit-Shifting in a Globalized World Economy
Political science scholarship has found mixed evidence on the impact of partisanship on the taxation of firms. In this article, I show that although left-leaning governments set tax rates at higher levels than right-leaning governments, the difference in the effective tax rates paid by firms is much less dramatic between left and right governments. I argue that left-leaning governments maintain high tax rates, a visible policy their constituency …
Globalization and Domestic Trade Policy Preferences
Reforming agriculture trade policy is key to breaking the deadlock in multilateral trade negotiations. While existing studies have focused on institutions and interest group barriers to agriculture trade reform in developed countries, most have failed to recognize the broad support for agriculture protection among developed countries. In this article we examine one of the drivers of this support: the ability of politicians to frame their own agri…
