DescriptionExisting studies on the influence of immigration on foreign direct investment (FDI) have all documented the importance of migrants for global investment. This research identifies how investment flows are influenced by migrants and what role governments play in this relationship, specifically if destination country has weak rule of law, com- monly recognized to discourage FDI due to the lack of credibility of the government to protect property rights. Quantitative and qualitative tests suggest that the rela- tionship between FDI and migrants is stronger as the rule of law becomes weaker. This suggests that migrants can be an important driving force of FDI to the countries with weak rule of law. Migrant investors’ perception of possessing a competitive ad- vantage over non-migrant investors explains their confidence in potential profitability of their investment in their home countries with weak rule of law. Governments in the countries with weak rule of law, in turn, perceive migrants as an important driving force of FDI that can help a country compensate for its weaknesses in rule of law for the purposes of attracting FDI.
