This study investigates the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) on the productivity of domestic firms using Peruvian firm-level data from the World Bank Enterprise Surveys. While previous studies have examined the mobility of workers from multinational enterprises (MNEs) to domestic firms, this study explores the opposite turnover which MNEs attract skilled workers from domestic firms. We find that the positive FDI spillover is significantly reduced for domestic firms that employ a higher share of skilled workers but pay lower wages, and some of them are even exposed to negative FDI spillover. These results suggest that the wage gap between MNEs and domestic firms can hinder human capital transfers to domestic firms, instead causing MNEs to absorb skilled workers from the domestic market. However, the wage gap effect hindering FDI spillover is less pronounced for domestic firms that license technology from foreign MNEs.
Abstract
This study investigates the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) on the productivity of domestic firms using Peruvian firm-level data from the World Bank Enterprise Surveys.

We find that the positive FDI spillover is significantly reduced for domestic firms that employ a higher share of skilled workers but pay lower wages, and some of them are even exposed to negative FDI spillover. These results suggest that the wage gap between MNEs and domestic firms can hinder human capital transfers to domestic firms, instead causing MNEs to absorb skilled workers from the domestic market. However, the wage gap effect hindering FDI spillover is less pronounced for domestic firms that license technology from foreign MNEs.
