Abstract
This paper assesses the effects of adherence to multilateral agreements on trade and investment on the inflow of foreign direct investment.

Controlling for country and time effects, the paper finds sufficient evidence greater adherence of investment importing countries to multilateral agreements has a positive effect on FDI inflows.
