| Title | The effect of foreigner acquistion on the structure of employment in Hungary |
| Summary | I analyze how the technological change due to the foreign acquisition affects the structure of workers within firms between 2003 and 2008 in Hungary. In order to do that, I use a Linked Employer-Employee Database that connects the 50% sample of the working age Hungarian population with firm level data, that provides a larger employer level sample than in researches before. I estimate fixed effects model controlling for year, industry and firm level effect to find whether there is a change in the occupational skill content of the workers in acquired firms. In specific cases, to have more reliable results, I also expand my estimation strategy with matching. My findings suggest that foreign takeovers has little effect on the composition of the labor force in the acquired firms, the new owner would not shape the occupational skill content of the company. |
