Bénassy-Quéré's most cited research paper is an article written in 2005 together with Maylis Coupet and Thierry Mayer called “Institutional Determinants of Foreign Direct Investment”. In this article, the authors demonstrate a high degree of effectiveness of institutions and institutional effects such as bureaucracy , corruption , information , banking , constitutional institutions on the level of foreign direct investments regardless of GDP per capita , but also the negative effect of weak capital concentration and strong protection against dismissal . With regard to the bilateral foreign investments examined, the authors find in particular that the similarity between the institutions of the donor and recipient country plays a decisive role.
