Abstract: | In this paper, Finnish linked employer-employee panel data is used to study whether employees can appropriate returns to knowledge accumulated in foreign-owned (henceforth as: f-owd.) firms when moving to domestic firms. The estimates indicate that highly educated employees earn a return to prior experience in a f-owd. firm, which is over and above the return to other previous experience. These employees do not seem to pay for the accumulated knowledge in the form of lower starting wages in f-owd. firms. |
