人们经常认为，外国直接投资伤害了本国工人，因为工作岗位转移到了国外。与这种观点相反，商人经常认为外国直接投资有利于家庭工人，因为公司会扩张。我们表明，这两种观点都可能是正确的，家庭工人在外国直接投资中获益还是受损取决于公司将哪些类型的活动转移到东道国。如果母国的活动与东道国的活动之间存在很大程度的可替代性（互补性），那么工人很可能会在 FDI 上遭受损失（收益）。
It is often argued that FDI hurts workers in the home country because jobs are moved abroad. Contrary to that view, businessmen often argue that FDI benefits home workers because there will be an expansion in the firm. We show that both views may be correct, and whether home workers gain or lose on FDI depends on which kinds of activities the firm moves to the host country. If there is a big degree of substitutability (complementarity) between activities in the home country and activities in the host country, it is likely that the workers lose (gain) on FDI.
