We first analyse a convention styled after the OECD's ‘Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions’, which requires signatory countries to proceed against firms that have bribed public officials of any foreign country. We then study the case in which the convention requires signatory countries to proceed against firms that have bribed public officials of signatory countries only. We argue that the second type of convention is more likely to ensure the enforcement of penalties.application/pdfengThis is the peer reviewed version of the following article: Celentani M, Ganuza J-J, Peydró J-L.
