Foreign direct investment and wage inequality : evidence from China (2011, background): “Girma and Gorg (2007) find substantial heterogeneity in the post-acquisition wage effect depending on the nationality of the foreign acquirer and the skill group of the workers.”
Estimating Direct and Indirect Effects of Foreign Direct Investment on Firm Productivity in the Presence of Interactions between Firms (2014, methodology): “To account for firm-level unobserved heterogeneity, we combine CIA with difference-in-differences (cf., Girma and Görg, 2007b) by considering the change in the outcome variables between post (2006) and pre-treatment (2004) periods.”
The effect of investor origin on firm performance: Domestic and foreign direct investment in the United States (2011, background): “4 A notable exception is Girma and Görg (2007b). fore, average effects estimated across groups could mask differences in performance between each of the groups.”
The Effect of Customers' Social Media Participation on Customer Visit Frequency and Profitability: An Empirical Investigation (2013, methodology): “…between customers’ social media participation and their intensity of relationship with the firm, as recommended by current literature (e.g., Huang et al. 2012, Girma and Gorg 2007, Blundell and Dias 2000), we utilize propensity score matching in combination with difference-in-differences analysis.”
Is Export Promotion Effective in Developing Countries? Firm-Level Evidence on the Intensive and Extensive Margins of Exports (2008, methodology): “A method recently used in the literature to estimate treatment effects that does not impose the linear functional form restriction in estimating the conditional expectation of the outcome variable is the matching difference-indifferences (see, e.g., Arnold and Javorcik, 2005; Görg et al., 2007).”
Saving Taxes Through Foreign Plant Ownership (2010, neutral): “The international economics and industrial economics literatures on the endogenous organization structure of firms identify characteristics that are observable (see, e.g., Girma and Görg, 2006), so that it seems natural to apply a related procedure here.”
Gifted Kids or Pushy Parents? Foreign Direct Investment and Plant Productivity in Indonesia (2009, methodology): “Girma and Görg (2007b), who focus on food and electronics sectors in the UK, find that acquisitions by US multinationals have sizable effects on skilled and unskilled wages.”
Beyond The Average Effects: The Distributional Impacts of Export Promotion Programs in Developing Countries (2010, methodology): “Nevertheless, we should notice that upward biases are a potential risk inherent to these kinds of evaluation approaches, which unfortunately cannot be fully ruled out (see, e.g., Arnold and Javorcik, 2005; Girma and Görg, 2007; and Görg et al., 2008).”
Foreign-owned firms around the world: A comparative analysis of wages and employment at the micro-level (2013, background): “Until recently, there was a consensus that foreign firms pay higher wages than their domestic counterparts and that foreign wage premia tend to be higher in less developed countries (e.g. Girma and Görg, 2007; Lipsey and Sjöholm, 2006; Moran, 2006).”
