摘要:Labour market dependency on Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) inflow is very high in transition economies. This paper estimates the effects of FDI inflow on the employment rate and average net wages in Western Balkan economies in the period 2003–2017. The sample of economies (Albania,Bosnia and Herzegovina,Croatia,North Macedonia,Montenegro,and Serbia) was selected mainly because of the high legacy with FDI and unsaturated labour market. Presumably,FDI inflow has a positive impact on the employment rate and on average net wages in the Western Balkan countries. Employing linear mixed-effects models (LMM),the results indicate that FDI inflow changes have very low but positive and significant effects on both the changes in employment rate and on average net wages.
其他摘要:Zavisnost tržišta rada od priliva stranih direktnih investicija (SDI) veoma je visoka u ekonomijama u tranziciji. Ovaj rad se bavi procenom uticaja koji priliv SDI ima na stopu zaposlenosti i prosečne neto zarade u ekonomijama Zapadnog Balkana u periodu 2003–2017. Date ekonomije su uzete kao uzorak (Albanija,Bosna i Hercegovina,Hrvatska,Severna Makedonija,Crna Gora i Srbija) uglavnom zbog velikog nasleđa u vidu SDI i nezasićenog tržišta rada. Pretpostavlja se da priliv SDI pozitivno utiče na stopu zaposlenost kao i na prosečne neto zarade u zemljama Zapadnog Balkana. Koristeći linearne mešovite modele (LMM),rezultati pokazuju da promene priliva SDI imaju vrlo niske,ali pozitivne i značajne efekte kako na promene stope zaposlenosti,tako i na prosečne neto zarade.
