dc.description.abstract | This paper examines the differential effects, based on the size of the plant, of
industry-level foreign direct investment (FDI) on plant-level employment and
the wages of skilled and unskilled workers in India’s manufacturing sector. On
average, there are strong positive differential effects of increased inward-level
FDI for large plants relative to small and average-sized plants in terms of
employment and the average wages of both skilled and unskilled workers. Small
plants experience negative effects from inward FDI, which can be explained
by intra-industry reallocation of output from smaller to larger plants. After
conducting a regional analysis, I find positive spillovers to small plants in Indian
states that receive large and persistent flows of FDI. This suggests that a critical
mass of FDI is necessary for small plants to experience positive spillover effects. | en_US |
