Thesis (M.P.P.)--Georgetown University, 2013.

This paper examines the impact that bilateral investment treaties (BITs) have on the enactment of environmental regulations, with particular focus on the impact of BITs in low, lower-middle, and upper-middle income countries. Enabled by newly available time-series data for the Environmental Performance Index (EPI)---an annual, country-level measure of environmental policy performance---this study augments existing literature by empirically investigating the "regulatory chill" hypothesis that has been primarily advanced through legal and case study analysis. The units of analysis for this study are 89 low, lower-middle, and upper-middle income countries, and the impact of BITs on EPI is considered for the eleven-year period 2000 to 2011. Cross section and random effects panel regression analyses show inconsistent and contradictory results regarding the effect of BITs on EPI, but this finding may be a consequence of methodological and data limitations of the present study. Given the scope and scale of potential ramifications of the "regulatory chill" phenomenon---should it exist---additional research that builds and improves on this study's approach may be warranted. In the meantime, and prior to their countries becoming party to additional international investment agreements, policy makers in low, lower-middle, and upper-middle income countries may benefit from more careful consideration of the implications of signing a BIT.
