@RIPEJournal Regarding US firms, I find that FCPA enforcement increases new US investments entering into foreign markets with high regulatory barriers, while decreasing the performances of incumbent US firms in those markets.

@RIPEJournal Using an original dataset of FCPA enforcement, combined with cross-national data from World Bank Enterprise Survey, the UNCTAD, and the AMNE, I find that FCPA enforcement discourages both bribe-givers and bribe-receivers in countries with weak legal institutions.

The timing is striking. This follows Bloomberg's report that the DOJ's foreign bribery unit (FCPA) has been gutted, now limited to cases involving drugs or trafficking.
