Adjusting Labour Demand: Multinational vs. National Firms. A Cross-European Analysis (2003, result): “Lipsey (1994) shows that the wage difference paid by MNEs becomes insignificant after controlling for firm size, while Feliciano and Lipsey (1999), limiting the analysis to manufacturing sectors, find that a wage premium in foreign-owned manufacturing establishments remains significant also after co”
Exporting, linkages and productivity spillovers from foreign direct investment (2008, background): “However, Girma et al. (2001), Haskel et al. (2002) and Keller and Yeaple (2003) are recent studies using firm level panel data, which find positive spillover effects for the UK and the US.”
Foreign Direct Investment, Spillovers and Absorptive Capacity: Evidence from Quantile Regressions (2005, unknown): “For example, the British Government provided an estimated $30,000 and $50,000 per employee to attract Samsung and Siemens respectively to the North East of England in the late 1990s (Girma et al., 2001).”
Is Labor Mobility a Channel for Spillovers from Multinationals? Evidence from Norwegian Manufacturing (2011, background): “…but they do not necessarily imply that the MNE has a firm-specific advantage that could be the basis for spillovers.6 6 Several papers investigate the extent of so-called wage spillovers; see Aitken, Harrison and Lipsey (1996), Girma, Greenaway, and Wakelin (2001), and Driffield and Girma (2003).”
Technology spillovers from foreign direct investment in Vietnam: horizontal or vertical spillovers? (2011, background): “Girma et al. (2001) also point out the importance of competition in determining the extent of spillovers in UK manufacturing.”
Spillovers from Foreign Firms Through Worker Mobility: An Empirical Investigation (2005, unknown): “Spillovers from foreign firms through worker mobility: An empirical investigation By H. Görg and E.

Multinational Companies, Technology Spillovers and Plant Survival (2016, unknown): “…and host country firms, some of the more recent ones being Blomström and Sjöholm (1999) for Indonesia, Aitken and Harrison (1999) for Venezuela, and Girma et al. (2001) for the UK.1 These studies usually regress productivity in host country firm i, measured as either labour or total factor…”
Regional Foreign Direct Investment and Wage Spillovers: Plant Level Evidence from the UK Electronics Industry (2003, unknown): “There is growing evidence for this in the UK – Driffield (1996) finds that foreign firms will pay wages above the industry average of around 7%, partly due to productivity differences and Girma et al. (2001) report a wage and productivity differentials of 5%.”
Foreign ownership and productivity: Is the direction of causality so obvious? (2006, background): “A rather di¤erent conclusion is reached by Girma et al. (2001) who apply random e¤ect techniques to a cross-industry panel of UK …rms.”
Foreign direct investment and wage inequality : evidence from China (2011, background): “Girma et al. (2001) study FDI in the United Kingdom and find no overall spillover effect on wage levels.”
Multinationals Productivity Advantage: Scale or Technology? (2007, background): “See, for example, Globerman, Ries, and Vertinsky (1994), Doms and Jensen (1998), and Girma, Greenaway, and Wakelin (2001).”
Growth and the Quality of Foreign Direct Investment: Is All FDI Equal? (2007, methodology): “Using firm level data from the U.K., Girma, Greenaway, and Wakelin (2001), for example, find no evidence of intra-industry spillovers in the aggregate, but strong effects when they relate the extent of spillovers to industry characteristics.6 Most of the macro empirical work that has analyzed the ef”
Regional underdevelopment: Is FDI the solution (2001, unknown): “Failure to fully internalise these assets can result in externalities that benefit domestic firms.”
