International commitments such as free trade agreements and membership to WTO will make a country more dedicated to its economic policy, and in turn will attract foreign investments. This paper focuses on the effects of these international commitments on foreign direct investments by looking at 101 developing countries ranging from 1995 – 2015. The results show that for membership in the WTO/GATT a significant effect was found. However, for Free Trade agreements no significant effects has been found.
