论文标题

Foreigndirect investment, unionised labour markets and welfare

摘要内容

Although empirical evidence on therelationship between labour union and foreign direct investment (FDI) is mixed,the theoretical literature mainly explains the negative relationship betweenlabour union and FDI. We show that a multinational firm may prefer FDI in thepresence of labour unions if it is sufficiently technologically superior to itsdomestic counterpart. FDI (compared to export) makes the domestic labour unionbetter off but it makes the consumers, the domestic firm, the foreign labourunion and the foreign country worse off, and may reduce domestic welfare. Weshow the implications of industry-wide and firm-specific labour unions.
