本文考察了外商直接投资（FDI）对中国制造业就业的影响。作为世界上最大的外国直接投资接受国之一，中国可以说在许多方面受益于外国跨国企业。然而，中国和其他发展中国家面临的主要挑战之一是创造就业机会，而外国直接投资对就业的影响是不确定的。其影响取决于外国公司创造的就业机会的数量以及外国直接投资对国内公司就业的影响。我们使用1998-2004年期间制造业企业的大样本分析了中国的FDI和就业。我们的研究结果表明，FDI对就业增长有积极的影响。外资企业相对较高的就业增长率与其企业特点和较高的成活率有关。中国国内民营企业的就业增长也相对较高。外国直接投资对国内私营企业的就业似乎也有积极的间接影响，可能是由溢出效应引起的。
This paper examines the effect of foreign direct investment (FDI) on employment in the Chinese manufacturing sector. As one of the world's largest recipients of FDI, China has arguably benefited from foreign multinational enterprises in various respects. However, one of the main challenges for China, and other developing countries, is job creation, and the effect of FDI on employment is uncertain. The effect depends on the amount of jobs created within foreign firms as well as the effect of FDI on employment in domestic firms. We analyse FDI and employment in China using a large sample of manufacturing firms for the period 1998–2004. Our results show that FDI has positive effects on employment growth. The relatively high employment growth in foreign firms is associated with their firm characteristics and their high survival rate. Employment growth is also relatively high in private domestic Chinese firms. There also seems to be a positive indirect effect of FDI on employment in private domestically-owned firms, presumably caused by spillovers.
