摘要

跨国公司的女性雇员比例高于国内非出口商。为了解释这一事实，本文检验了国际贸易和外国直接投资是否是客户和投资者将性别平等规范传递给企业的渠道。我们采用了2007年至2016年104个不同国家约28,000家公司的汇总横截面数据。我们将同一市场中的全球公司与非全球公司进行比较，以研究公司对商业伙伴国家性别规范的影响。研究结果显示，在中低级别职位上，竞争是最高的，而在高层管理职位上，竞争是相反的。

How is global commerce affecting the gender composition of employment? A firm-level analysis of the effects of exposure to gender norms via trade and FDI

Global firms have a higher share of female employees than domestic non-exporters. To explain this fact, this paper tests whether international trade and FDI are channels through which norms regarding gender (in)equality are transmitted from customers and investors to firms. We employ pooled cross-sectional data from 2007–2016 for around 28,000 firms in 104 different countries. We compare global versus non-global firms in the same market to study the influence of firms’ exposure to gender norms in commercial partner countries. The results show a race to the top for low- and mid-level jobs and the opposite for top managerial positions.
