Ownership and the multinational wage premium

Abstract

"Combining administrative data on German workers at the plant level with detailed global ownership information, we provide evidence that the multinational and hierarchical structure of networks matters for wages paid by plants. We find that both network characteristics are equally important for the wage premium paid by multinationals. Moreover, the hierarchical distance is also important for wages paid by plants in national networks." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
