abstract: 'Both inward and outward foreign direct investment (FDI) have
implications for the wage rates of home-country workers. Such
implications have been particularly noteworthy in Japan where the
traditional internal labor-market practices, which value long-term
sustainability of employment and wages, collide with the pressure for
change in the globalizing Japanese economy on many fronts. In this paper
we estimate the impacts of FDI on workers'' wages in Japanese
manufacturing industries. We find that Japanese employees benefit, in
the form of wage gains, from their employers'' association with both
inward and outward FDI operations. These wage effects differ
systematically depending on gender and worker ranks within their
employer firms and are likely to weaken the mechanisms underlying the
sustainability of Japanese firms'' traditional internal labor markets.
The presence of FDI effects on worker wages also implies an increasing
disparity between the incomes of workers who work for successfully
globalizing firms and workers who do not, jeopardizing Japan''s
traditional policy objective to sustain harmonious economic growth
across all economic sectors. This would also deepen the structural
divide including the wage gap of the Japanese economy that exists
between large firms and small-and medium-size enterprises (SMEs) since
firms which get involved in FDIs are mostly large firms.'
