 br />Both countries and sub-national governments commonly engage in competi
 tion for mobile capital\, offering generous incentives to attract investmen
 t. While suggesting such incentives allow politicians in democracies to tak
 e credit for firms’ investment decisions or escape blame if firms do not co
 me\, this seminar will present the strong empirical finding that authoritar
 ian countries offer greater tax incentives to foreign investors than their 
 democratic counterparts\, both in terms of variety and size of the reductio
 ns. Using cross-national and firm-level data from Russia and Vietnam\, Dr. 
 Malesky will also discuss what conditions the authoritarian anomaly and gen
 erates the upward accountability.</p><p><strong>About the Speaker</strong><
