Abstract
⺠Bilateral investment treaties (BITs) proliferated like trade agreements (TAs). ⺠We predict theoretically economic determinants of gains from BITs and from TAs. ⺠We predict empirical determinants of likelihoods of BITs (TAs) for country-pairs. ⺠We provide predictions of which pairs should have formed BITs and TAs.
