Abstract
We examine whether greater investor protection leads to greater portfolio investments by utilizing different forms of investor protection measures and bilateral foreign equity portfolio investment data across 37 developed and developing markets. After controlling for a host of confounding factors, we find strong evidence that countries with better investment profile, quality of institutions, and a track record of law enforcement appear to attract higher levels of foreign portfolio investments
