本文检验了总部设在美国的跨国企业（MNE）的生产阶段从美国母公司转移到外国子公司是否有助于美国相对劳动力需求向更熟练的行业内转移。有两个主要的实证结果。首先，有证据表明，在过去的20年中，跨国公司转移。其次，回归分析不支持MNE假设。跨国公司转移对美国相对劳动力需求的影响往往很小，估计不准确。这一发现是不一致的跨国公司的模式，其中子公司的活动替代母公司非熟练劳动密集型活动。
This paper tests whether the transfer of production stages within US-headquartered multinational enterprises (MNEs) from US parents to foreign affiliates has contributed to within-industry shifts in US relative labor demand toward the more-skilled. There are two main empirical results. First, there is evidence of MNE transfer during the past 20 years. Second, regression analysis does not support the MNE hypothesis. MNE transfer tends to have small, imprecisely estimated effects on US relative labor demand. This finding is inconsistent with models of MNEs in which affiliate activities substitute for parent unskilled-labor-intensive activities.
