Globalisation and Labour Markets Research Paper 2007 / 36 Foreign - owned Plants and Job Security
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigate the hypothesis that workers in foreign-owned establishments face greater job insecurity. Using linked employer employee data from Germany, we examine whether foreign-owned establishments are more likely to exit production, and whether workers in foreign-owned establishments face higher separation rates, net of establishment exit. We find that, after controlling for the different characteristics of foreign and domestic establishments, foreign establishments have higher exit rates and higher separation rates, but the effect is quantitatively small. In contrast, foreign-owned establishments which do not export appear to have considerably higher exit rates and separation rates. JEL classification: F23, J63, C41

We assess these hypotheses in a dataset of 33,577 European foreignand domestically-owne...
