We conduct an empirical investigation into the effects of foreign ownership on worker skills using firm-level data from Spain. To control for endogeneity bias due to selection into foreign ownership, we combine a difference-in-differences approach with a propensity score weighting estimator. Our results provide novel evidence that foreign-acquired firms actively raise the skills of their workforce in response to the acquisition by hiring high-skilled workers and providing worker training. To pin down the mechanism, we exploit unique information on whether firms use their foreign parent in exporting to foreign markets. Our results suggest a fundamental role for market access through the foreign parent in explaining skill upgrading in foreign-acquired firms. We reveal substantial productivity gains within foreign-acquired firms and we show that these gains derive from a concurrent effort to raise worker skills and adopt more advanced technology, suggesting a skill bias in technological innovations. We develop a simple theoretical model of foreign ownership featuring technology-skill complementarities in production that can rationalize our findings.

The replication folder contains all codes and data needed to replicate the empirical results in "From Exports to Value Added to Income: Accounting for Bilateral Income Transfers"

The zip folder contains all the data and codes to reproduced the results in the paper. It also contains the dataset with the dates on PTA formation collected as part of this project.

This repository is linked to the article "Service Offshoring and Firm Employment" by Peter Eppinger (University of Tübingen) in the Journal of International Economics. It includes a "Data access" statement, which provides detailed instructions on how researchers can apply for access to the data and codes needed to replicate all results in the article on site at the Research Data and Service Centre (RDSC) of the Deutsche Bundesbank. The codes themselves are added to this repository as soon as they are available.

Replication codes for the paper "Revisiting the Exchange Rate Pass Through: A General Equilibrium Perspective"

Data and codes used in Wei and Xie, "Monetary Policy in an Era of Global Supply Chains"

All the data we use in the paper are publicly available. The description of the datasets is in the paper.
