      abstract = {There are no laws preventing a host government from  seizing the
capital of a foreign direct investment in its  borders and then denying any
compensation for the foreign  investor. Why do we not see many more
expropriations of  investor capital by host governments? Compiling a
database  of expropriations within the minerals sectors of  developing
countries, I show that there is a cost for  expropriation by a host government in
the form of lower  growth in the sectors of countries that expropriated in  the
past. It is possible to lose a bad reputation by a host  government's actions
after expropriation.},
