Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper, we examine the increase in the relative wages of skilled workers in Mexico during the 1980s. We argue that rising wage inequality in Mexico is linked to capital inflows from abroad. The effect of these capital inflows, which correspond to an increase in outsourcing by multinationals from the United States and other Northern countries, is to shift production in Mexico towards relatively skill-intensive goods thereby increasing the relative demand for skilled labor. We study the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) on the share of skilled labor in total wages in Mexico using state-level data on two-digit industries from the Industrial Census for the period 1975 to 1988. We measure the state- level growth in FDI using data on the regional activities of foreign- owned assembly plants. We find that growth in FDI is positively correlated with the relative demand for skilled labor. In the regions where FDI has been most concentrated, growth in FDI can account for over 50 percent of the increase in the skilled labor share of total wages that occurred during the late 1980s

Book excerpt: This paper summarizes and assesses recent studies on the impact of current trends in trade and direct investment on employment and wages in OECD countries. The general conclusion is that such factors as changes in labour supplies, technology and demand are more important than changes in trading patterns in accounting for changes in employment and shifts in relative wages. However, further studies are needed to understand better the employment and wage impact of foreign direct investment.

Download or read book Foreign Investment, Outsourcing and Relative Wages written by Robert C. Feenstra and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper we examine the reduction in the relative employment and wages of unskilled workers in the U.S. during the 1980's. We argue that a contributing factor to this decline was rising imports reflecting the outsourcing of production activities. In a theoretical model, we show that any increase in the Southern capital stock relative to that of the North, or neutral technological progress in the South, will increase the relative wage of skilled workers in both countries due to a shift in production activities to the South. Corresponding to this change in the relative wage is an increase in the price index of Northern activities within each industry, relative to that of the South. We confirm that this change in relative prices occurred for the U.S. and other industrialized countries relative to their trading partners. We also estimate that 15-33% of the increase in the relative wage of nonproduction (or skilled) workers in the U.S. during the 1980's is explained by rising imports.

Book Synopsis The Real Exchange Rate and Foreign Direct Investment in the United States by : Michael W. Klein
Download or read book The Real Exchange Rate and Foreign Direct Investment in the United States written by Michael W. Klein and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been a significant correlation between United States inward foreign direct investment and the United States real exchange rate since the 1970s. Two alternative reasons for this relationship are that the real exchange rate affects the relative cost of labor and that the real exchange rate alters relative wealth across countries. In this paper we explore these alternatives by examining the determinants of four measures of inward foreign direct investment to the United States from seven industrial countries over the period 1979 to 1991. We find strong evidence that relative wealth significantly affects U.S. inward foreign direct investment. We find no evidence that relative wages have a significant impact on the determination of U.S. foreign direct investment. These results are robust to the choice of countries in our sample and when controlling for changes in tax codes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of papers by former students and colleagues celebrates the profound impact that Jagdish Bhagwati has had on the field of international economics over the past three decades. Bhagwati, who is the Arthur Lehman Professor of Economics at Columbia University, has made pathbreaking contributions to the theory of international trade and commercial policy, including immiserizing growth, domestic distortions, economic development, and political economy. His success and influence as a teacher and mentor is widely recognized among students at both MIT and Columbia, and as founder of the Journal of International Economics, he has encouraged research on many questions of theoretical and policy relevance. The political economy of trade policy, Bhagwati's most recent area of interest, is the theme of this collection which addresses salient topics including market distortions, income distribution, and the political process of policy-making.

Book Synopsis Inward Foreign Direct Investment, Superstar Firms and Wage Inequality Between Firms by : Juan David Durán

This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theoretical models and international evidence have established that foreign direct investment is associated with new technologies, productivity gains, higher wages, and wage inequality in the host countries. While most existing studies on foreign direct investment and wage inequality have examined relative wages across skills, occupations and sectors, recent contributions to the theoretical and empirical literature highlight the role of wage dispersion between firms as an important driver of overall income inequality. Against this background, this paper examines wage dispersion between firms across European regions and the role played by multinational firms with dominant market shares, the so-called "superstar firms". Firstly, we document the evolution of wage dispersion between firms and the regional presence of foreign affiliates across European regions. Second, we empirically investigate the role of inward foreign direct investment as a driver of wage dispersion between firms across European regions. The analysis uses firm-level data from the ORBIS Europe data set over 2012-2021 combined with a range of data for European regions. Using a shift-share instrumental variables approach, we find that foreign direct investment, particularly international superstar firms, contributed to increased wage inequality between firms across European regions.

Download or read book International Economic Activities and the Demand for Skilled Labor written by Pablo Fajnzylber and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2004 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Increases in international economic integration can lead to greater specialization according to comparative advantage, but also to the diffusion of skill-biased technologies. In developing countries characterized by relative abundance of unskilled labor, these factors can have opposite effects on the relative demand for skilled labor. Fajnzylber and Fernandes investigate the impact of the use of imported inputs, exports, and foreign direct investment on the demand for skilled workers by Brazilian and Chinese manufacturing plants. They find that while in Brazil increased levels of international integration are associated with an increased demand for skilled labor, the opposite is true in China. This paper, a product of the Growth and Investment Team, Development Research Group, is part of a larger effort in the group to study the links between globalization and labor markets"-- World Bank web site.
Book Synopsis Growing Wage Inequalities in Poland by : Agnieszka Skuratowicz
Download or read book Growing Wage Inequalities in Poland written by Agnieszka Skuratowicz and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 5 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International trade and foreign direct investment (FDI) tend to exert a downwardpressure on the relative wage of less skilled workers in developed countries. ThisCountry Focus investigates whether the growing wage inequality between skilledand unskilled labour in Poland during the transition can be associated with the inflowof foreign capital. The rising relative demand for skilled labour is partly due to theinflows of foreign capital and this has led to an increase in the skilled workersœ wageshare in the total industry wage bill. FDI has positive effects on growth throughtechnology transfers and restructuring of state-owned enterprises, and is found toincrease employment and investment. However, because of labour marketimperfections and the concentration of foreign capital around agglomerations,foreign investment can contribute to a deepening of the economic differencesbetween regions.
