Domestic Jobs and Foreign Wages
研究了跨国公司的劳动力需求是否受国内外劳动力成本影响,发现外国成本上升会增加瑞典母公司的就业并减少海外就业。
It is plausible that the labour demand decisions of multinational corporations (MNCs) depend not only on domestic, but also on foreign labour costs. This hypothesis is tested by estimating labour demand equations for a sample of Swedish MNCs. Indeed, higher foreign costs increase an MNC's Swedish employment and reduce its foreign employment. As MNCs become more important in many OECD countries, the responsiveness of domestic output and employment to foreign labour costs is likely to increase.
