Importing automation and wage inequality through foreign acquisitions
Gardberg, Malin; Heyman, Fredrik; Tåg, Joacim - 2023
Is technology or trade driving increases in wage inequality? We propose that technology interacts with trade in the form of foreign direct investments to widen domestic wage inequality. We show that foreign acquisitions of domestic firms disproportionately affect wages for workers who perform...
