| Abstract: | The aim of this article is to overcome several shortcoming of previous empirical studies on the relationship between IPR protection and FDI. Firstly, sectorally disaggregated FDI data is used for a large sample of host countries. Second, the proposition that stronger IPR protection raises not only the quantity but also the quality of FDI is addressed. Third, it is checked to which extent the relationship between IPR protection and FDI is affected by applying alternative measures of IPR protection. The empirical findings support the hypothesis that the threat of an unauthorized use of intellectual-property-related assets, and, thus, FDI depends on industry as well as host-country characteristics. |
