In this study, we explore the effects of attitudes on bilateral trade and FDI. Using survey data from the Pew Research Center’s Global Attitudes Projects for 63 countries from 2002 to 2013, we determine that a more favorable attitude of a country toward another country will increase the former country’s imports from the latter country. The result is robust to endogeneity check, to different measures of attitudes, and to different estimation methods. However, heterogeneityis observed across different types of goods and countries. The result holds for trade in intermediate and consumer goods, but the effects are not statistically significant for capital goods. The effects are statisticallysignificant for bilateral trade between different country groups, except for high-income countries’ imports from non-high-income countries. Positive effects of attitudes on exports and FDI are also observed. 主讲人简介：丘东晓教授是我校的特聘教授，香港大学商学院副院长。是著名的华人贸易学者，在国际贸易学界具有广泛的学术影响力。目前还兼任中国国际贸易研究会会长，美国经济学会、欧洲经济协会、国际经济和金融学会、香港经济学会等多个知名学会专业会员，联合国开发计划署扶贫网络咨询小组顾问、香港公民教育委员会顾问。在国际顶尖期刊发表多篇学术成果。
