FDI and Wage Spillovers in Indonesian Manufacturing

Lipsey, Robert E. and Sjöholm, Fredrik LU (2004) In Review of World Economics 140(2). p.321-332
Abstract
This paper examines the effect of foreign direct investment in Indonesian manufacturing on wages in locally owned Indonesian manufacturing plants. The issue is examined in a cross section of Indonesian manufacturing industries and provinces in one of the few years for which data on worker characteristics were available. Wages in locally owned plants were high in industries and industries within provinces with large foreign presence. Since the foreign plants also pay higher wages than locally owned ones, the two factors together imply that higher foreign presence raises the general wage level in a province and industry.
