“…In addition, Kandogan and Hiller () show that membership in intergovernmental organisations helps build trust and increases the likelihood of signing trade agreements. Among existing studies, the closest to ours are Akhtaruzzaman, Berg, and Lien (), Lien and Co (), Lien, Oh, and Selmier (), Lien, Ghosh, and Yamarik (), Lien, Yao, and Zhang () for the case of Confucius Institutes, and Lien and Lo () for the Goethe Institute.

Lien and Co () reports a similar effect for US exports to China, and Lien et al () find a positive effect on demand for international travel to China.…”

“…In particular, the location of Confucius Institutes seems to be based to some degree on political factors than just purely economic factors. Akhtaruzzaman, Berg, and Lien () provided empirical evidence of an independent positive effect of Confucius Institutes on FDI outflows from China to African countries after controlling for foreign aid from China and natural resources in a particular African country.
