“…Zhao () and Ishida and Matsushima () derive ambiguous effects of FDIs on welfare. Cao and Mukherjee () consider inward FDI and find that they decrease domestic welfare if the multinational firm is sufficiently technologically superior to the domestic firm (see also Leahy and Montagna, ). Other works deal with the effects of union power on inward FDI and how labour market institutions may change in response to FDI (see Naylor and Santoni, ; Vlassis, ; Vlassis and Mamakis, ).…”
