From Global Value Chains to Local Jobs: Exploring FDI-induced Job Creation in EU-27
This study explores the differential impacts of global value chain (GVC) participation on foreign direct investment (FDI)-related job creation in EU-27, emphasizing the role of sector-specific and regional factors. The study is based on a rich set of project-level data on FDI-generated jobs. It utilizes a labor demand function estimated through GMM estimator to account for endogeneity. Results indicate that forward GVC participation significantly boosts FDI-related job creation by enhancing domestic value-added and production capacity. However, this effect is moderated by sector-specific characteristics such as productivity or wages. Conversely, backward GVC participation, characterized by reliance on foreign inputs, generally reduces FDI-generated jobs due to lower domestic labor requirements and diminished competitiveness. Despite this, the negative impact of backward GVC participation on employment becomes less significant when regional diversification is considered, highlighting the importance of regional factors like infrastructure and skilled labor. The study also finds that the impact of GVC participation on employment varies with EU membership status and sectoral characteristics, with old EU member states and high-tech sectors benefiting more from forward GVC integration. In contrast, new EU member states and low-tech sectors face greater challenges, particularly with backward GVC participation.
