Do MNEs Train More than Domestic Firms?

Do MNEs Train More than Domestic Firms?

Most empirical findings confirm this by using variables representing foreign
ownership. Tan and Batra (1996), Tan and Lopez-Acevedo (2003), and Miyamoto and
Todo (2003) show that higher foreign equity share is indeed an important determinant of
training in Mexico, Indonesia and Malaysia. Why do MNEs train more than domestic
firms? The literature provides numerous explanations. MNEs are less likely to face credit
constraints since they usually have wide access to foreign capital. It is also suggested
that MNEs are more likely to gain information on techniques and organisation of training
since their range of information is global. They can also reduce the probability of labour
turnovers by providing attractive compensation packages to keep the employees after
the training provision27. A recent analysis in Almeida (2003) indicates that foreign-owned
firms “cherry pick” domestic firms to be acquired, choosing those firms with a higher
educated workforce. If an educated workforce is more likely to be trained, or if “cherry
picked” firms tend to be high-technology firms that require training, MNEs are more likely
to train than domestic firms.
