摘要:This study analyzes the efect of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) infows on the employment and wages of low- and high-skilled employees in the manufacture and service sectors in Mexico. The study implements a quarterly panel dataset covering the 32 Mexican states from 2005 to 2018. The econometric model is estimated throughout FixedEfects (FE) and Panel Corrected Standard Errors (PCSE). Employment results indicate that an increase of FDI infows into the manufacture sector creates a positive efect in low- and high-skilled employment. In the case of service sector, results are inconclusive across models for both categories of employment. In the case of wages, it is found that FDI infows by the manufacture sector increase marginally in low-skilled wages and no statistical efect is captured in high-skilled wages. Lastly, in service sector, results indicate the efect of FDI infows are inconclusive in the case of lowskilled and high-skilled wages.
