Abstract
We explore how the type of global market entry affects wage premia, classifying firms into four categories: domestic only, domestic exporters, non-exporting multinationals, and exporting multinational enterprises. Using firm-level panel data for Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, and Slovenia for the years 2007–2017 and a multivariate endogenous treatment model based on the approach of Wooldridge (J Econom 68(1):115–132, 1995), we find that the multinational wage premia are mainly driven by the export status of multinational firms. Specifically, domestic exporters and exporting multinationals pay on average higher wages than non-exporting firms, whereas non-exporting multinationals tend to pay lower wages than domestic-only firms.
期刊介绍:
Empirical Economics publishes high quality papers using econometric or statistical methods to fill the gap between economic theory and observed data. Papers explore such topics as estimation of established relationships between economic variables, testing of hypotheses derived from economic theory, treatment effect estimation, policy evaluation, simulation, forecasting, as well as econometric methods and measurement. Empirical Economics emphasizes the replicability of empirical results. Replication studies of important results in the literature - both positive and negative results - may be published as short papers in Empirical Economics. Authors of all accepted papers and replications are required to submit all data and codes prior to publication (for more details, see: Instructions for Authors).The journal follows a single blind review procedure. In order to ensure the high quality of the journal and an efficient editorial process, a substantial number of submissions that have very poor chances of receiving positive reviews are routinely rejected without sending the papers for review.Officially cited as: Empir Econ
