@article{Gorg2005Employment, abstract = {In this paper we
investigate the driving factors behind the diverse employment
performances of indigenous and foreign-owned (multinational)
plants in Ireland. Examining aggregate job creation and job
destruction rates we find that the net gain of the foreign
sector in Irish manufacturing employment was due to a
considerably lower rate of job destruction and a slightly higher
job creation rate. An econometric investigation into the
determinants of net employment growth at the plant level lends
further credence to the argument that foreign plants performed
better than domestic plants. Even after controlling for a number
of plant and sector specific effects, multinationals experienced
greater net employment growth rates than their indigenous
counterparts.}, author = {Holger G\"{o}rg and Eric Strobl},
