Exports, international investment, and plant performance : evidence from a non-parametric test

Girma, Sourafel; Görg, Holger; Strobl, Eric - 2003

This paper compares the performance of purely domestic plants, domestic exporters and domestic multinationals. For our empirical analysis we utilise a non-parametric approach based on the principle of first order stochastic dominance. We find that the distributions for multinationals dominate...

Wage inequality, linkages and FDI

Driffield, Nigel; Girma, Sourafel; Henry, Michael; … - 2010

This paper extends the existing literature on FDI and wage inequality. We do this in two ways. Firstly, we incorporate more precise measures of inward investment into the model, by allowing for differences in the effects between horizontal and vertical FDI. Secondly, after establishing the...

Evaluating the Foreign Ownership Wage Premium Using a Difference-in-Differences Matching Approach

Girma, Sourafel; Görg, Holger - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2006

This paper seeks to identify the causal effect of foreign acquisitions on wages of skilled and unskilled workers, using difference-in-differences propensity score matching estimators. Our results suggest that there is substantial heterogeneity in the post-acquisition wage effect depending on the...
