Outline of Final Research Achievements

The rapid growth in the number of temporary workers in Japan during the 2000s generated greater income inequality and greater job insecurity because temporary workers’ wages are lower and their jobs are more tenuous than those of permanent workers. However, little is established about the relation between globalization and domestic growth in the temporary workforce. This study finds that the relationship between temporary workers and offshoring is complementary in the early stage of FDI and that no persistent effect of offshoring occurs.

Firms that engage in international markets tend to pay higher wages. This study provides new evidence on the wage premiums for exporters and multinational firms in services and manufacturing sectors. The results show that wage premium for foreign-owned firms is far more important than that for exporters and domestically owned multinational firms in Japan.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

研究代表者は、2015~2018年度の4年間の研究期間の間に、日本企業の国際化の実態とその影響について、生産性や賃金の視点から新規性の高い発見を行った。研究成果は、査読誌に掲載されるだけではなく、『新々貿易理論とは何か: 企業の異質性と21世紀の国際経済』 (ミネルヴァ書房、2015) としても公刊された。研究成果を踏まえて、『経済セミナー』などにおいて、一般向けに国際経済学の研究動向を紹介するなど、社会への研究成果の還元にも取り組んだ。
