Building a Corpus of Multi-lingual and Multi-format International Investment Agreements

摘要

In this paper, we present an on-going research project whose aim is to develop a new database of international investment agreements that complements existing endeavors. In particular, this paper describes our efforts to build a standard- ized corpus of multi-lingual and multi-format agreement texts in order to enable re- searchers in the fields of international law and economics systematically investigate investment treaties.
