本文研究了不同程度的工资集中化对跨国公司在东道国设立办事处的激励作用以及对东道国福利的影响。分散和集中的工资谈判被认为是。跨国公司和国内公司之间产品市场竞争的性质证明对结果至关重要,这使人们对外国直接投资的一些传统智慧产生了怀疑。特别是,我们表明:(一)它并不总是福利改善,以吸引外来直接投资,及(二)跨国企业可能更喜欢集中分散的工资设定制度。
This paper investigates the effects of different degrees of wage setting centralisation on the incentive of a MNE to locate in a host country, and on the host country's welfare. Decentralised and centralised wage bargaining are considered. The nature of product market competition between the MNE and domestic firms proves crucial to results which cast doubt on some of the conventional wisdom on FDI. In particular, we show that: (i) it is not always welfare improving to attract inward FDI, and (ii) the MNE may prefer centralised to decentralised wage setting regimes.
