ALMONTE, Leobardo de Jesús; MORALES FAJARDO, María Esther  e  CARBAJAL SUAREZ, Yolanda. Direct Foreign Investment and manufacture employment. A regional analysis with panel data for Mexico, 2007-2014. Pap. poblac [online]. 2018, vol.24, n.96, pp.187-216. ISSN 2448-7147.  https://doi.org/10.22185/24487147.2018.96.19.

In this paper we analyze the effects of foreign direct investment (FDI) on the generation of manufacturing employment in the regions of Mexico. From the estimation of an employment function with panel data for each region of the country and for the period 2007-2014, it is found that there is a very important relationship between GDP growth and employment growth for the total of the manufacturing sector and for the different regions of Mexico. Nevertheless, there was no consistent evidence to confirm that the accumulation of FDI in the regions is a factor that influences the generation of manufacturing employment.

Palavras-chave : Manufacture employment; foreign direct investment; model with data panel; Mexico’s regions.
