摘要

This study explores the effects of overseas activity on parent firm employment in Taiwan's listed firms during 2000-2005. Propensity score matching estimates of discrete effects suggest that employment growth did not differ significantly between new parent firms and firms with no overseas operations. Generalized method of moments' estimates of marginal effects for all firms indicate that a statistically significant and positive correlation exists between the size of overseas investment and parent employment after considering factors potentially influencing firm employment. However, this employment effect is negative for non-electronics parents with investment in China.

本文探討海外直接投資對母國廠商就業的影響。利用台灣上市製造業公司2000－2005的資料，傾向評分配對的估計結果顯示，新進行海外投資與未進行海外投資廠商的員工數成長率並無顯著差異。以一般動差法對所有廠商進行估計則發現，直接海外投資對就業的邊際效果為正向顯著；但對於非電子業廠商，特別是投資中國的廠商，母廠員工數受到負向顯著的影響。
