    This paper studies foreign direct investment spillovers on the gender-related labor market practices of domestic firms, based on a unique firm-to-firm data set of Bangladesh's textiles and garment sectors. The paper looks at the female employment of domestic firms that are directly and indirectly related to foreign direct investment firms through supply chain linkages. These domestic firms are either the local suppliers or customers of foreign direct investment firms, or they share local suppliers and customers with foreign direct investment firms. The estimates show that domestic firms related to foreign direct investment firms have significantly more female administrative workers, but not necessarily female non-administrative workers, due to the former participating in more firm-to-firm interactions

    Using a cross-sectional dataset of 13 manufacturing sectors in 27 Asian developing countries from 2008 to 2022, we investigated the impact of the presence of foreign firms on wages of workers from domestic firms. First, we found that the average wage of workers from foreign firms is higher than that of workers from domestic firms. This pattern is more pronounced in the cases of low-income countries and the service sector. Second, the average wage of workers from domestic firms that are exposed to foreign firms is higher than that of domestic firms without exposure to foreign firms, indicating a spillover of wages from foreign to domestic firms. Third, the presence of foreign firms is found to widen the wage gap between skilled and unskilled workers. Based on our findings, we argue that developing countries should improve their FDI environment to attract FDI and upgrade the quality of unskilled labor by providing education and training, in order to reduce the wage gap.

    The recent changes in trade policy have significantly impacted trade flows. There is an ongoing debate on whether and to what extent firms may have also reacted to the new trade barriers by modifying the spatial organization of their multinational production to circumvent them. This paper aims to provide new evidence on whether such a tariff-induced shift in the location patterns of multinational firms has actually taken place. To do so, we exploit the changes in U.S. import tariffs in 2018-2019. The evidence indicates that firms have indeed responded to these new tariffs by adjusting the extensive margin of their multinational production across countries and that both structural factors and trade agreements played an important role in shaping these adjustments.

    Over the past 30 years, “deep trade agreements” (DTAs) have proliferated. DTAs go beyond traditional preferential trade agreements focused historically on reducing tariff rates on goods trade, influencing the behavior of exporting firms and multinational enterprises (MNEs) via a broad swath of “provisions.” However, estimation of individual effects of several hundred provisions in DTAs on trade using the World Bank’s DTA database remains in its infancy. While this database categorizes substantive provisions between liberalizations vs. obligations, this paper is the first to use the Shapley Value approach from cooperative game theory to generate unbiased estimates of the signs of all individual provisions’ partial effects. First, we find ex post evidence that (the World Bank’s) “liberalizations” can have positive or negative effects on trade and “obligations” can have negative or positive effects. Our approach generates precise estimates of the positive-versus-negative effects of narrow sets of provisions, while addressing challenges posed by omitted-variables, over-aggregation, and multi-collinearity biases. Second, in contrast to most studies that focus exclusively on trade effects of DTAs, we introduce a new data set on MNEs to inform us of DTA provisions’ effects on MNEs’ bilateral FDI, costs, employment, revenues, and assets – alongside provisions’ effects on trade – which are of importance to MNEs’ managements and governments’ policymakers. Third, we find convincing evidence that provisions that positively (negatively) affect trade flows also negatively (positively) affect FDI flows, suggesting that trade and FDI are predominantly substitutes with respect to DTAs’ provisions. Finally, we provide computable general equilibrium welfare estimates associated with several policy counterfactuals.

    This paper examines whether former foreign MNE workers help domestic startup firms succeed. I find evidence consistent with the idea that, as founding workers, former MNE workers positively contribute to startup outcomes. However, this appears conditional on survival. Using an event study approach on Irish administrative data, I do not find evidence that the wages of workers present from startup increase after former MNE workers join domestic firms. Likewise, there is no differential increase in size for startups joined by former MNE workers and startups that were not yet joined by former MNE workers. The same is true when examining wage outcomes at the worker level, even distinguishing between directors and non-directors, high and low wage workers. Former MNE workers are the highest earners in startups, suggesting that they have a higher ability than their peers. Challenges in adapting to a much less specialised environment and better wage bargaining may partly explain why former MNE workers do not appear to help startup firms succeed any more than other workers without this experience.

    In this paper, we seek to answer three research questions: (1) What is the pattern of foreign direct investment (FDI) in the African food and agriculture sector in the last 15 years? (2) What are the drivers of FDI in the African food and agriculture sector? (3) What is the evidence on the impacts of private-sector investments in the African food and agriculture sector on the product and labor markets, with particular focus on income effects? Our analysis shows that a total of $48.737 billion was invested in the African food and agriculture sector by foreign private-sector investors between 2003 and 2017, with a noticeable peak in FDI inflows observed after the 2008/09 agricultural commodities shocks suggesting that international investors want to capitalize on high food prices. The initiatives such as the New Alliance for Food Security and Nutrition and Grow Africa, which aim to create a conducive environment for investment, might have also contributed to the growth of FDI volumes reported over the last years. Our econometric analysis reveals that market potential is one of the main drivers of FDI in food and agriculture sector in Africa. More specifically, population size consistently has a significant impact on sectoral FDI inflows in Africa, irrespective of the model specification. Among the supply-side factors, the size of agricultural land turns out to be an important predictor of FDI inflows. Agglomeration effects are also observed, with a lagged volume of FDI inflows having a very strong impact on the level of current FDI. Finally, infrastructure or institutional quality play an essential role in attracting investment. These findings give support to various strands of literature that we drew upon in the theoretical framework. Uncovering the impacts that private-sector investment has on the population proved not to be straightforward. Even though the literature is relatively abundant, it is flawed with multiple methodological issues that limit its internal and external validity. Despite these caveats, most of the studies reviewed in our paper seem to suggest positive impacts on farm and labor income. The effects on equality and poverty are not clear, as some investment schemes may be biased towards the better-off households. However, wage-employment opportunities generated by private-sector investment seem to benefit the poorest, especially when they target unskilled labor or women. Finally, there is evidence that private-sector investment might act as a driver of technical innovation. However, many research gaps remain.

    This study investigates the long-term influence of colonial legacy on the nexus between inward foreign direct investment (FDI) and labor market. We construct a panel dataset containing 285 Chinese cities 2011 to 2017 along with detailed information about Chinese modern history during 1842-1955). Our results show that the inward FDI has a positive effect on employment and such an effect is more pronounced in the regions with colonial influence than their counterparts. Further, we find that the experience of Western colonization strengthens the positive effect of inward FDI on employment whereas the experience of Japanese colonization weakens or even overturns this positive effect. These findings are robust to controlling for the endogeneity between inward FDI and employment as well as employing alternative measures for the colonization.

    Migration policies need to consider how immigration affects investment behavior and productivity, and how these effects vary with the type of migration. College-educated immigrants may do more to stimulate foreign direct investment and research and development than low-skilled immigrants, and productivity effects would be expected to be highest for immigrants in scientific and engineering fields. By raising the demand for housing, immigration also spurs residential investment. However, residential investment is unlikely to expand enough to prevent housing costs from rising, which has important distributional implications.

    The paper examines the foreign direct investment (FDI) spillover effects in developing countries and investigates the importance of the absorptive capacity of a firm and a country in realizing and facilitating FDI spillover. It uses data obtained from the World Bank's Enterprise Surveys for 107 countries from 2007 to 2020. The study finds that firms in developing countries do not benefit from horizontal FDI but benefit from forward and backward vertical FDI. The study also finds that firms can benefit from horizontal, forward, and backward FDI by improving the absorptive capacity of firms and host countries. Based on these findings, several recommendations are presented to help firms benefit from FDI spillover.

    This paper develops a two-country Kaleckian model in which "Northern" firms invest a fixed fraction of total investment in foreign affiliates in the low-wage "South" in order to offshore the production of intermediate goods over time and lower overall labour costs. On the back of this setup follows an analysis of the macroeconomic implications of offshoring in the short and long run. Offshoring through vertical FDI is found to lead to a falling wage share and a simultaneously falling price level and rising mark-up in the North, whereas the effect on equilibrium capacity utilisation may be positive or negative. Interestingly, however, regardless of the effect on capacity utilisation and firm profitability, we can show that the structural change implied by offshoring leads to lower rates of capital accumulation and employment in the North relative to the initial (pre-offshoring) values in the short run. The long-run effects on Northern employment and growth, on the other hand, depend crucially on the long-run accumulation rate of the Northern-owned multinational firms. However, the model shows that, if wages endogenously converge during the transition due to higher unemployment in the North and lower unemployment in the South, then the long-run Northern capacity utilisation and accumulation rates are increasingly likely to fall relative to pre-offshoring values. The model appears well suited to shed light on many real-world macroeconomic phenomena, such as rising FDI flows, falling wage shares, rising mark-ups in an era of low inflation, hysteresis, and secular stagnation.

    The inflow of foreign investment can provide several positive economic effects. The main determining elements are related to the economic environment, but this does not mean that the government options are limited. Policy measures that affect the operation of firms have a significant weight in the decision process by potential investors. This text aims at contributing to the debate about the Brazilian policy towards the attraction of foreign direct investment, emphasizing a few dimensions that have been less considered so far, but should be a systematic part of such policy.
