2 1. Introduction 1.1. Topics and purposes Importance of human capital for innovation and economic growth since Becker (1964). Many endogenous growth contributions (Lucas 1988, Romer 1990, Aghion-Howitt (1992) => education as a key determinant 2

3 1.1. Topics and purposes However assessing skills goes beyond education => challenge Lack of internationally comparable data on labour quality => 1 st objective: Assessing the labour force composition by skills and by industry in OECD countries 3

4 1.1. Topics and purposes Globalisation : FDI flows into and from OECD countries Especially, FDI in the high technology sectors and internationalisation of R&D Determinants of location decisions of multinationals: what role for the skill composition of employment of the host country? => 2 st objective 4

5 1.2. Implications Creating a new database: Skills by industry ▫Adding a “skill” dimension to the currently available data at industry level (extending the STructural ANalysis (STAN) Database) Comparing the two skill proxies ▫ Occupation and education Analysing impact of skills on FDI location decisions 5

6 1.3. Outline 2. Data and descriptive results 3. Empirical estimations 4. Conclusion and further research agenda 6

7 2. D ata & Descriptive Statistics OECD Skills by Industry (ANSKILL) database OECD Activities of Foreign Affiliates (AFA) Database OECD Foreign Affiliates’ Trade in Services (FATS) Database OECD STAN Database for Structural Analysis 7

8 2.1. ANSKILL Two proxies for skills: 8 Occupation (ISCO -88) Skill levelsEducation (ISCED-97) Legislators, senior officials, managers HIGH SKILLED Second stage of tertiary education Professionals First stage of tertiary education Technicians, associate professionals Clerks MEDIUM SKILLED Upper secondary education Service/sale workers Skilled agricultural and fishery workers Post-secondary non tertiary education Craft and related trade workers Plant and machine operatorsLOW SKILLED Primary education Elementary occupationsLower secondary education

9 2.2. AFA and FATS AFA : Manufacturing sectors - Highly aggregated level of detail for industries -16 variables (on production, employment, employee compensation, investment, R&D…) FATS : Service sectors -More recent (since 1995), OECD – Eurostat joint questionnaire -Very detailed breakdown -Less variables (mainly on turnover, value added, employment, exports and imports) 9

10 2.3. STAN Main OECD database for industry-level time-series data Important country (32 member countries) and time coverage (since 1970’s). Many variables on production, value added employment, labour costs, exports, imports…) 10

36 4. Conclusion and further research agenda 4.1. Conclusion Strong relationship between the high skilled share of employment in the host country and the presence of multinational firms Both of the proxies => positive and significant while explaining labour productivity of foreign affiliates Occupations should be taken into account, together with the educational attainment for skill assessment 36

37 4.2. For further research agenda Completing data collection on industry x education matrices and extending the analysis to other OECD countries Robustness checks through logistic panel estimations Focus on the high technology industries and knowledge intensive business services in the econometrical analysis 37
