“…We explain only 38% of the 1989 gap, in contrast to Kao, Polachek, and Wunnava's (1994) Results from the level decomposition indicate that large portions of the aggregate earnings disparity between men and women are not explained by measured productivity differences. The trend decomposition technique provides a richer description of the sources of changes in the earnings gap than the standard level decomposition performed in other developing country studies (for example, Birdsall and Sabot 1991;Gannicott 1986;Kao, Polachek, and Wunnava 1994;Manning and Fong 1990).…”

During the 1980s, Taiwan's industry and export mixes shifted toward higher-skill, technology-intensive products, and lower-skill, labor-intensive industries began moving abroad. Despite improvements in women's skills and educational attainment relative to men's, the mean gender earnings ratio between 1978 and 1992 remained at 65%. The authors analyze household survey data from Taiwan's Manpower Utilization Survey to examine why rapid structural change was not accompanied by a narrowing of the gender gap. The results strongly suggest that large losses experienced by women in unmeasured gender-specific factors—which could reflect the effects of labor market intermittency, growing gender differences in unobserved skills, or an increase in wage discrimination against women—offset their relative gains in education and experience. Further evidence provides no support for a widening gender gap in labor force commitment or in unobserved skills, suggesting that wage discrimination against female workers increased over time.

“…Studies on South East Asia find that foreign firms pay high wages, at least partially attributed to their larger size and their higher capital intensities (Manning and Pang, 1990). In the case of Indonesia Hill (1990) and Manning (1998, Ch.…”

“…Aitken et al (1996) and Manning and Pang (1990) observe higher wages in foreign firms than in domestic firms in Mexico, Venezuela, the United States, Indonesia and the ASEAN. Conyon et al (1999) find foreign firms pay bigger wages and this contributes to higher levels of productivity.…”

Based on capital accumulation and the capacity to innovate, we use an Edgeworth box and find that in a host country that lacks capital, if multinational corporations (MNCs) remit more profits back to their parent companies and invest less in the host country, the latter's R&D ability to innovate may decline. As a result, the host country's economic security could be threatened. An empirical test using Chinese data suggests that introducing foreign capital actively and promoting the innovation of small and medium-sized enterprises could help to maintain national economic security in cross-border M&A.KEY WORDS: Cross-border mergers and acquisitions, R&D capacity of core technology, national economic security, Edgeworth box, total factor productivity JELCODES: F12, F21, F23
