Abstract

This paper studies the diffusion of technology that occurs from Multinational Enterprises to domestic firms via worker mobility. It concentrates on the wage and unemployment implications of diffusion of knowledge through labor mobility in the local labor market. We construct a heterogeneous search and matching model where the labor mobility is restricted by the existence of binding contracts. Findings of the model reveal that knowledge spillovers through the movement of workers from foreign to local firm lower the firm premium and the skill premium. Further results indicate that technological progress raising the productivity gap between the foreign and the local firm leads to an increase in the unemployment rate, the firm premium and the skill premium.

Özet

Bu makalede Çok Uluslu Firmalar (ÇUF) ile yerel firmalar arasındaki işçi hareketliliğinden oluşan teknolojik yayılımlarm işgücü piyasalarına etkileri incelenmiştir. Daha önce ÇUFlarda çalışan işçilerin yerel firmalarda çalışmaya başlamasıyla birlikte oluşan teknolojik yayılımlarm ücretler ve işşizlik üzerine etkileri heterojen eşleşme modelleri (search and matching) ışığında çalışılmıştır. Bu çerçevede, makalenin analitik ve nümerik çözümü teknolojik yayılımlarm firma primini (ÇUFlar ve yerel firmalar arasındaki ücret farklılıkları), vasıf pirimini (yerel firmalardaki vasıflı ve vasıfsız ücret farklılıkları) ve işsizliği azalttığını ortaya çıkarmıştır. Bunun yanısıra nümerik çözüm ÇUFlarda ortaya çıkan teknolojik ilerlemenin, yerel firmalar ve ÇUFlar arasındaki verimlilik farkını arttırarak, işsizliği, firma pirimini ve vasıf pirimini arttırdığını göstermektedir.
