  ABSTRACT: Bilateral Investment Treaties (BITs) are legal agreements between two governments with the goal of protecting and attracting FDI. However, existing research on whether BITs fulfill their intended purpose remains mixed. I argue that the empirical analysis of BITs must statistically account for the selection into BIT signing to identify the effects of BITs on FDI. Using a matching approach, I find that BITs do attract FDI.
