Abstract

We hand-collect data on individual FCPA enforcement actions initiated by the U.S. Department of Justice and use them in a panel difference-in-difference estimator to provide the first systematic empirical evidence that anti-bribery enforcement is followed by a reduction in U.S. fixed capital investments in countries targeted by enforcement actions. Publication Status: Published in Applied Economics Letters, 2016, 23(1):63-67.
