Can investment decrease the wage premium? The aim of this study is to analyse the
dynamic relationship between different investment types (FDI & DI), and wages. While
many studies only focus on one investment, primarily FDI, this study will instead put
both investment types in comparison. A panel VAR model with impulse responses is
employed to analyse the dynamic relationship and a Dynamic Panel System GMM
Estimator serves as a control. Three databases are combined for this analysis: OECD
Stan, Penn World Tables (PWT) and the WIOD Tables, resulting in a sample of 24
OECD countries covering 10 industries over the period from 1995 to 2009. The main
finding is that DI is more effective than FDI in increasing productivity growth, economic
growth and wages, and most importantly, decreasing the wage premium. The significance
lies in that DI increases the wages of medium-skilled and low-skilled labour more than
the wages of high-skilled labour.
